Re: Heating Element Control

Waygrumpy I think you are on the right track i have considered using the pid for control but if you notice many argue that it will not work due to cycling the element on/off but most people do not understand the concept of fuzzy logic controls.

Re: Well, after much consideration....

I was looking at using the clamp and ferrules but instead i went with a stainless half coupling to be welded in in fact i ordered 2 1 for the heating element and one for a ball valve to drain with it is a lot cheaper than having to buy all the sani ferrules and clamps.
