Yup, I did, though I haven't had any need to adjust my jager heaters after about 1 day after buying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikBok Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 it's one of the reasons jager appealed to me. Just move the red dial so it points to the correct temperature. The you can adjust the blue dial to the temp you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 dials, what dials? red and blue even oooh something to play with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 There is only one dial on mine. Place in water of a known temperature for about 10 minutes until it reaches the same temperature as the water, lift button on top and turn dial until it reads the same as water temperature, push down button and turn dial to required tempeature then read instructions.

Zayne Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 i dont think that one has a button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Put the heater on and measure the temp of water after 24 hours of it in a bucket or small tank. Then yank the button up and turn the dial to correspond with the temp of the water. push the button down. It's calibrated.

Then yank the button up and turn the dial to correspond with the temp of the water. push the button down. It's calibrated, at least as accurately as the device you are using to measure the temperature of the water. I'd suggest investing in a decent thermometer to measure the temperature before adjusting the thermostat on what is theoretically a high quality heater....
