    To clarify, the thermostat probe goes outside the tub, or between the tub and the UTH. The thermometer probe goes inside the tub right on the plastic where the UTH is.

    The thermometer should read ~92*F. Do you have the thermostat turned up all the way?

    You could give it a try. Also, if you haven't already, try raising the tub a bit so there is some airblow below the UTH.

    Re: Tub too COLD

    i place the probe else were and see if you can get the inside temp higher (like between 2 layer fthe plastic (tub thickness ) so it takes longer to get up to temp then just adust it to the temp your tub needs.


    some like this text refernce


    probe
    plastic
    plastic
    under tank heater


    that and can placea piece of plastic above the probe to limit some heat lost .. but i would seriously keep a close eye on the tub temps until get stable.
