Yup, looks like that's what I'll have to do
I was hoping to probe the water before all the plumbing, but I guess it doesn't make that much difference, does it ?

Thanks Casey
If I have to, I will contact DA
I've read through all their forum info, but some of it is still useless.
This case is a prime example where reefme showed me something not clarified on the DA site

That was why I just email them and get an answer promptly and accurately what I want because I don't have patience like you

I now have the Temp probe in the sump's heater chamber
This is where I will put the pH probe and the Ranco probe as well

I can sleep with this setup, but I will definately be doing some research or DA e-mails to sort this, and other issues, out

I set up my heater as a controller, sensor port is SL1-temp, direction is below, setpoint is 78, hysterisis is .01.
You should use 2 switches to control your pump, 1 that turns it on and 1 that turns it off and set the height @ 1/4" apart, that will prevent the toggle effect.

Thanks for the input Cal

My heaters are setup as yours and I'd like to keep them that way. I'll have to figure out an alarm, but that's later. It's OK for now with the probe in the heater chamber

As for the switch issue, when it was cycling, the switch was dry and not moving. It was a programming error
I will also fix this issue with an alarm

I'll most likely be back with more issues or contact DA

I'm off to put salt in my tank
