I've done it

[snowmansnow]

FINALLY, I found a simple solution to some temp fluctuations I've been having issues with.

My temp fluctuation today? .05

YES

 

[jbdreefs]

so what was the cause and how did you fix it?

 

[jdwells]

Yeah no kidding! Give us the answer man!

you've been doing this 5 years and you just now figured out how to stop a temp swing? ...lol
congratulations

So I have finally figured out how to solve world hunger ......................................

Edit: Maybe to post was just internal dialog that spilled out on to the forums.

Place multiple heaters in diffrent sections thru out your system. That way when heater comes on, temperatures are more evenly distributed then heating up in just one part of your tank system. Saves time and saves power. My 2 centos. Personally tho, I like little temperature swing as is in the nature.

Apex+heater+chiller??

Maybe by his absence we can also assume he found the hole in the space time continuum he was looking for as well.

Nothing about that statement is true. Well, except the natural temp swing part.

never underestimate the power of evaporative cooling... just be ready for the increased consumption of top off water.

I was going to guess "empty tank". Not much fluctuation there.


ARC....so nerdy our President breaks bones while bowling.

My issue was with heat.. not with it being too cool. but thanks for the interesting notion

From my experiences, by having multiple heaters in my systems, I am able to keep more stable temp.
instead of heating up one location and circulating thru out, I figure it helps with heating up water faster and more uniformed. (having a temperature probe away from the heater helps it keeping in right rage as well.) and course having bigger heater is good too.
Can you tell me how this is not true?

And as original poster mentioned, didnt know it was issue with heat. ^^;
I never have heat problem after utilizing the external return pump and without chiller and fans. <

I'm sure it would work fine I'm personally on the other end of the spectrum though as I only have ONE heater.. with 2 fail safes and it only runs about an hour a day total according to my charts :/

I just HAPPEN to be producing just enough residual heat to keep my temp where I want it haha..

luck i suppose

Ya, guess we will either have heat problem or low temperature problem depends on the season and equipment used. I keep my place around 73 in winter time so my temp does get pretty low without heaters.

You are lucky :up:
