BRS Hester Program?

spsick · Dec 16, 2019

Anyone had luck getting these dialed in? Replaced a 150w Finnex with a 200w BRS and programmed Apex so the BRS Controller would do the work (set

n, off if >79.5)

I’m seeing the reading changes in .4-.5° increments in a blink so my backup heater is coming on constantly which I would like to avoid.

My set temp is 77.7 with .3 differential. Temp probe is upstream in the sump from heaters.

No luck either. I am getting huge temperature swings and the initial temperature setting was awful.

I should note I have in a high flow/turbulent area in the sump (drain return section of sump, 1st compartment) and a setpoint of 78.0.

Here’s mine. It would be even wider if I didn’t have my supplemental heater kick on at 77.2 I like having the wear on this rather than my EB8 outlet but a 1° swing is pretty inacceptable considering my cheap finnex units can hold a tighter window for $30 each.
