The item description states "Thermostatically controlled to operate only when necessary". Can anyone tell me what the temperature range of on/off is?

It's controlled by a thermal switch normally open set at around 35 to 36 degrees, then turns off around 43 degrees. Is set to keep the water from freezing.I've taken it apart and had to replace the thermal switch on a few of them, they tend to go bad when they get wet. Stv

Hi my name is Steve Alsworth, I've responded earlier and somehow lost the email on my phone. The thermal switch turns on or closes the circuit at 35 degrees, and turns off or opens the circuit at 46 degrees, give take a degree. I hope this is helpful, perhaps if there's anything else I could do for you just ask me at stevealsworth@q.com

I do not know the temperature range! I can say the water does not get warm. It works very well, I am very satisfied and I will purchase another when these go bad! I have three of these buckets and have used them two winters so far! I highly recommend this item!

Bought it for my wife, she is not 100% but believes its just on/off....no temp control per se.

There is no "off" setting. The lowest temperature setting is 40. It will turn off when the power to the furnace is turned off.

they are controlled by an internal t-stat and only shut off once they reach the temp you set. But 900 sq ft heated to 105 might be stretching a single too far. I would suggest two units.

The pad has no temp control. It is either on or off. A rheostat might work.

My unit is behaving exactly as what you (and the user manual) describe. I set the thermostat temp to a comfortable 68 degrees. The unit heats up to +4, which is 72 degrees, and then it shuts off. That's great. However, as soon as my room temperature drops to 71 degrees, which is about 2 minutes later, the unit kicks back on in LOW mode. This is WAY too sensitive. When the room temperature reaches 72 degrees again, which is about 30 seconds later, the unit shuts off again. The unit cycles between 71 and 72 degrees, and therefore, turns on and off continuously every couple of minutes or so. Mind you, neither 71 nor 72 is my desired temperature. The constant clicking on/off makes this feature unusable. It is quite ironic that this feature is called Save Smart. It should be renamed "Waste Dumb" in my opinion.

It automatically shuts off if it becomes too warm, so you could. And with ComforTemp it keeps it between 68-70 degrees. I personally feel more secure turning appliances off if I'm gonna be gone for an extended time though.

Yes you can set a certain temperature and it will maintain it for you. You don't have to turn it on/off

There is no true On/Off setting. If you want interior temps to fall below 40F, you would need to turn the unit off at the circuit breaker.

I don't believe the temp. control goes down that far. You would have to bypass the automatic temp. control, not sure that is a good idea, I am not an electrician.

Debra, It's been my experience that this is basically a rheostat (like a light dimmer) rather than having an on off switch per say it just regulates how hot it gets. For me this was better than the on/off in that I don't get temperature spikes and then cooling off but rather a constant temperature. I am using mine for the winter house for my sulcata tortoises and it has worked well for several years. I hope this has answered your question.

Hello. This is a consumer grade thermostat so it does not allow for cycles per hour. You can set the the turn on or off point to be 1-3 degrees.

In so far as I can tell, there isn't any kind of a thermostat to regulate the temperature. I would guess that it's self regulating according to the room where it's located. There is a switch that you set to use as a refridgerator or as a food warmer and the other switch is for either A/C or D/C indicating a house current (A/C) or an automobile's current (D/C). There are cables for both and that's the limit of choices we have. I hope this helps. I am not an engineer---neither electronic nor choo choo. So far, this unit has performed quite well, and if it keeps up I will certainly recommend it to others. In so far as I can tell, there isn't any kind of a thermostat to regulate the temperature.

Your question is very vague but here goes, The Man Control works like this, when you first turn the unit on you set it to high to heat the room to the temp youlike in the room then you rotate it counter clockwise to get the temp you want it well turn off most of the time at about a quarter of the way on, but your supposeto set it at what temp like when you back it down! Hope that works!

You cannot have the on/off button pushed for you. But in programming this thermostat, you set a particular temperature for the AC/H system to maintain from 9pm until 5am then a different temperature to maintain from 9am to 5pm. For example, in the summer, I could choose to have the AC maintain 78 degrees F from 9am til 5pm then something like 85 degrees F from 9pm to 5am. You are still able to decide what temp you want for the 5am-9am and 5pm-9pm parts of the day.

There is no temperature control, as it is not needed. It keeps it at a steady 110 degrees (I believe), so it is within your range. And it will run as long as you have it plugged in. Hope that helps! :)

Is it thermostatically controlled?. If so check if the temperature setting is too high for your requirements.
