analog or digital

[Gman20]

hey guys im bout to hit the checkout button on the analog temp controller......


i dont plan on using it alot but ive read some mixed reviews on this...should i just spring for he digital one or does the anaolg work good if you know what you are doin and use it right?

I bet the analog works fine once you dial it in. I know at work we use an analog one in our temperature test chambers, but that is a high temperature test so I can't really compare it to fermentation temperature ranges.

I sprung for the digital one for at home, and would buy it again.

without knowing the price difference. if there's just a couple bucks difference, well I would go digital.

yea thinking bout it....its like 20 bucks difference....plus ive heard the digital one will not turn compresser off in the middle of cycle which i guess helps it hast longer

I have the digital and really like it. I can't speak about the analog, but for 20 extra....I would recommend the digital.

I got an SCT 1000(digital) and I can't say I've noticed it does anything but shut down when the pre set temp is reached. what I know is, it does not restart with out a specific re-set time for the compressor. Meaning it won't shut down then try to restart in a min or 2. How long is up to you, but @ least 10 min between shut down and restart would be recommended. That's what's good for your compressor.
