Ranco temperature controller

[whatcaneyedo]

I've had some problems with the aquamedic heaters and the controller. But each time they start to malfunction aquamedic replaces them for me. The only catch is that you have to mail it to them first and wait a few weeks for the new one to arrive... I've replaced their heaters 3 times and the controller once. Its been about 10 months since the last time I had a problem.

I've never had an issue with the Ranco controller

I've had my Ranco controller for 5+ years now, no issues.

Big Al's has them on their website but they are shown as Current USA chiller controller.
The picture is a Ranco looks the same as mine.

Go to www.rancoetc.com and order your single or dual temp controller, then have it shipped USPS. The most I have been hit with is taxes and a $5 brokerage fee. USPS is not like UPS with rip-off pricing on brokerage.

THey can also be ordered as pre-wired or not wired at all if you are fimilar with electrical work and want to save some money.

I've read on a couple of sites now that they sealed the sensor. I never did anything like that to mine. I thought it was full submersible. Has anyone else with the dual stage controller sealed the sensor in any way?

That thing is like twice the price of a Ranco-branded controller.
