Stupid, fluctuating temperatures..

Since iv had my herpstats, i never have to adjust temps! I truly think they are a great investment!

That is not the fault of the herpstat but rather the flexwatt. Flexwatt has around a 5% fluctuation depending on where you measure temps.

Is your flexwatt one continues strip or does each tub have their own individual piece of flexwatt? I always found I have better accuracy if the tubs are all ran off one piece of flexwatt, my temps are all the same all the time on one piece.
