Another thermostat thread! Yay!

I have two Johnson tstats and the click isn't bad at all, IMO. One is on my incubator and the other is running my baby racks. It sounds like someone making a really quiet snapping noise with their fingers, I guess.

Never really gave it much thought. I guess it's not that loud, like turning on a light switch, I don't really give it much attention.

Cool,


Cos my quarantine rack will be in my bedroom and I wondered how intrusive it would be to a slumbering yeti.:D

The yeti might or might not be displeased. Best not find out for fear of losing an appendage.

If so how loud is it?

To me, it sounds just like my oven when it reaches the pre-heat temp and the thermostat in it clicks off. When I got my first Ranco, it was being used in the living room (which is right by the kitchen) and I'd keep jumping up to go see if I had forgotten to turn off the oven! LOL

Now, I also have a Ranco running in the bedroom, and I can't say that I even notice it any longer - it's just part of the natural sounds in the room! LOL

See above! :)

For my quarantine tubs, can I run an extension cord from my herpstat to another room to connect to the UTH on the tub and use a rheostat to dial in the temp? The herpstat will be on my rack, which is being delivered tomorrow.

Hi,


I think that would be a lot harder to do reliably as the reason you can use the dimmer trick is because the local environment is identical for both sides of the equation.:(

With it being in another room entirely I would be concerned that the ambient temps could change in one leading to either under or overheating in the other room.
