Re: Herms Control Unit
Hi
Here is a schematic of my control box.
For My herms I use a 2.8L pot with a 2.4KW cheap tesco element. The temp is monitored using a 3 wire PT100 and the element is controlled using a PID and SSR.

Re: Herms Control Unit
I've gone for a low tech solution.
A Lidl jam maker set to the relevant temp, a stainless coil with rubber hose, a solar pump, a variable tattoo power supply and stop/start switch.
