    Uth and thermostat help
    So I just got another ball and I have uth for all three of them, but only 2 thermostats. There in lies my issue. I have two uth plugged into one thermostat and one is getting hotter than the other. I am ordering heat tape so this will be fixed but in the mean time is there anything I can do to regulate it better

    The easiest thing would be to put a dimmer switch on it (~$10 at home depot) until the heat tape arrives. Just keep checking the temp and adjusting the dimmer until it's where you want it.

    Are the heat sources the exact same or different?

    If you use one thermostat for multiple heating devices they need to be the same. Not just same brand but also the same size. Or just get another thermostat.
