Right now I use helixes for my racks but about to order another thermostate cause my hatchling rack is gonna be here soon and my question is have anyone have good experiances with Johnson control I would like to save a few bucks and oreder that insted of the helix but if johnson aint great I will just stick with helix any advice would be great!

im not much on names but NO thermostat is fullproof failures happen. IMHO never count on just one for several reasons, fire being the main one. i use 2 rotory thermos piggy backed then into a circuted power strip that gives me 3 points of failure. use a tempgun dial it in, piggybacking 2 or more thermos is fullproof. best of luck,,,,,,,,,,,thomas davis

Not trying to start anything Thomas..But I believe that "Three points for failure"..is two points too many..if your going to have a failure, at least you don't have to track it down..use of a GFCI would help also, just check it regularly.

no not THAT one

hi richard, yeah ok... what i meant is piggybacking thermos in case one fails the other is there inline functioning and yes power to a GFI plug in case both thermos fail, thus 3 points for safety/failure.

Look into the Ranco's. I've had mine for many years and very reliable. About the same cost as the Johnsons, and I have heard nothing but good from other folks who use Rancos as well.
