I know little about electrical wiring so I don't want to cut the 2 wire UTH cord (lose warranty) and short the UTH out without even using it.

thanks again....

They sell piggy back dimmers that you can just plug the uth into. No wiring involved. They look like this:

Also, when you get a thermostat, you only need one. Even the cheaper ones come with two plugs so you can control both tanks with the same unit. The more expensive units have space for up to 6 heating elements.
