Old Ebo-Jaeger Heater setting...

[tang_man_montreal]

Hey guys, I have an old 200w Ebo-Jager heater in my sump right now. I wanted to raise the temp on it, and noticed that the setting increments are labeled 1 to 10, not in degrees like my new one.
Can someone tell me what setting will put it at about 79-80 degrees?
Thanks!

i would put it in a bucket of water and set it at 3 let it work check the temp and raise it little by little untill you find your temp

Viper- that is a good idea- possibly if someone has exp with the older models they could post and save some time- but if not the bucket test would work

ya it's a last resort i do that with all my new heater i dont trust any of them i would be pi$$ed off if i set it to 80 and it went up to 86 again so i make sure to test all of them

Ebo heaters are my first choice- they are the cream of the crop-for class submersibles- i use them on every tank i have ever had and have. I have never had on fail yet and a few are getting old and still working like new
