    Thermostats
    Hi,
    I currently use a Habistat Temperature thermostst, a simple on/off switching device which works fairly well. Accuracy is not perfect though and temps fluctuate up to +/- 4F at times. I'm looking to upgrade to a pulse proportional thermostat made by the same company but am not sure if this will work with a UTH. I've read up on it but all I can find is "ideal for high powered ceramic heaters" and no info on what can't be used with it. So.. Is it possible to use a pulse proportional thermostat with a UTH?
    Any help is appreciated,
    Cheers!! :sweeet:

    I am pretty sure that is what I am using right now with great success. I have 'stick to the bottom' UTH's, and Herpstats, which I feel are the best thermostats, and EXCELLENT customer support!

    Can't seem to get herpstats in the UK, but i think they're pulse proportional so I'll go ahead with the one here! Cheers for the help!

    Go to www.mgreptiles.com and look for his herpstats, I'm sure he can ship to the UK (I think lol)

    Yuppers we ship to the UK every week. You will have to have a power converter since you run on 220.. A PPT will be fine with a UTH..

    Thanks for the help! How would I go about finding a power converter? Not really sure where to start or how much money to expect to pay?
    Thanks again,

    Sorry, one more question...
    How much is shipping of a herpstat to the UK? Couldn't seem to find costs on your site :confused:

    Cheers!
