    Re: thermomstat

    As long as you understand how it operates, and are familiar with the difference between on/off thermostats, and proportional thermostats. And are going to be running the thermostat within its limits, then yes, a Johnson Controls thermostat should be perfect!

    You might look into backing it up though.

    Re: thermomstat

    Its pretty much plugging a thermostat into another one, and putting both probes in the same spot. Added security more or less, worth the extra cash if you ask me.

    Re: thermomstat

    Johnson is the best of the on/off style stats IMHO. I have two of them, one running the cool side of my rack and the other running the QT cage, and I've never had a problem with them.

    Re: thermomstat

    Theyre good. But I prefer a proportional stat.

    Re: thermomstat

    I use both on/off and proportional thermostats.

    They both work perfectly for what I'm using them for.
