    Are you talking about the thermostat or the thermometer? The thermometer is 35$, when in my opinion there are many more reliable "weather station" thermometers out there for way less.


    as for the thermostat, helix is a great t-stat. But it is always a good practice to have a probe on the hot spot inside the tub. ;) to clarify, a thermometer probe on the hot spot. sry. :oops:

    A thermostat controls the heating element, (flexwatt, UTH) a thermometer just measures the temps. A hygrometer measures the humidity. The thermostat has a probe to identify how hot or cold the heat source is and keep it at the temps you have set.
