Repti Temp 500R Thermostat - simple question

I plan on purchasing this thermostat and I read that it can control duel heating elements. I want it to control 2 UTH's under the same tub, one for cool side and one for warm side since I'm having problems getting the cool side up. My question is does it control both with different temperatures or is it meant to control maybe 2 identical warm spots for 2 different tubs at the same temp?

May sound dumb but I've always used a dimmer and want to know for sure before I click "purchase".

It only controls one temp

Do your self a HUGE favor, go to The Home Depot, or a store like that in your area and purchase a dimmer switch, the kind that has a cord and a plug, you plu your heating device into it and then plug it into the wall....exactly the same as the 500R but for a hell of alot cheaper. I dont know who originally said to use this...but I want to kiss them. We set up our first tank with pet store everything, then learned of this 3 dollar dimmer switch and intead of a pet store temp/humidity gauge to use the 12 dollar walmart indoor outdoor reader. This site has saved me butt loads. Since it can only control one thing (although I have plugged a under tank heater and CHE into it and it worked fine...although not reccomended.) save yourself the cash and go get the dimmer switch....thats an order!

I dont see on here how there was any violation of the rules.

What are your temps on the cool side? Do you have them in a glass tank?

My cool side temps go from 73-76 throughout the day. I'm using a sterlite tub with newspaper substrate.
