    heating a bp tub
    i want to switch to using a tubs but understand they are harder to heat all around. could i use two uth and two thermostats to keep one side around 80 and the other around 90?

    There are several ways..........................
    heat the room to 80 and heat pads on the hot side.
    two heat sources and two thermostats.
    or a rack with hot side heat............. if its a close sided rack you might get lucky enought to have your cool side about right.:gj:

    Yes they are. The dual set up 2 uths and 2 t-stats works very well with tubs it adds to the cost the other issue with a dual system is if you are using a dual probe t-stat and it fails there is absolutely NO escape for the snake so I would really suggest a failsafe t-stat as well.
