aaron11 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Update :cry1: :cry1: :cry1: Jager heater was faulty took it back and got another one from a different batch. They tested it in the shop and gave me 2 fish for the 2 that died So fingers crossed this time ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Did they calibrate it for you? Rarely can you set the temp of a Jager to say 26 and expect it to stay at that. You have to have a thermometer to set it against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even set to 18 it wouldn't turn off tank went to over 30 my poor fish Will it affect them in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 What you do is lift the button, then place the heater in water of a known temperature, leave it long enough to get to that temperature, set the dial to that temperature then push the button down. It is then calibrated and should give you the temperature you set it at, taking into account the hysterersis which is probably about one degree each side of what it is set for.
