i do know that the digital temperature display flashes when the frost stat kicks in from 2c to 7c then turns itself off which takes 10 mins but the reading im getting after 30 mins of turning the heater on far exceeds this as  it jumped up 31c  this morning to 44c.......its always done this so it must be normal......

I don't think the digital temp reading is of the actual tank.  I have two controller readings and the one circulating is always showing a much higher temp then the one going to the pole.

Maybe Grippa could pop on here and explain the science 😜😜😉😉😜😜

ive just ordered a new tds meter from gardiners with the temperature button(i needed some resin anyway) so i think ill not bother taking any notice of the temp reading on the controller from now on!

Yeah and your cold floor ambient air temp theory will be out the window when you dip that meter 😂

Forget all the remp reading malarkey.  Best method is your hand.  If the brush head is hot to touch then who cares about the stats.

its not a theory........ambient air temperature,flow,freezing cold ground,original temp in my tank before heating and how much hose i have off the reel all affects the temp at the brush end when im using hot water...its a fact....

i do wonder what planet your on sometimes nigel!

ive been  using a tds meter with a temperature button for years mate,just time to replace after 8 years and 2 lots of batteries,its finally given up the ghost.....

true........but i like to keep an eye on the temperature from time to time........

I checked mine this morning it said hot hotter then look out you’ve cracked 1 😂
