Question about CHE's

I'm using a uth on the hot side, and i understand i could use another on the cool side set to 80, but does that mean that i do not need to worry about ambient temps?

I'm doing exactly what you're doing. I have a 36qt tub as well and I have a UTH heater connected to a thermostat as well as a CHE that hovers above on the cold side to bring up ambient a little. I'm about a foot away and it still warms it up fine. I've been doing this since last year and have yet to melt any plastic. Also, I have a dimmer on the CHE too, and I just adjust the dimmer based on how cold it is in my room.

Thanks for the reply! Im glad to hear someone has had success this way. What wattage che are you running? And thanks again.
