Good for simple alert by LOREN ROOD

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 4/3/2008 from ZIONSVILLE, IN UNITED STATES

Comments: Purchased to use only as an alert, so the accuracy of the temperature reading is not really a problem. The temperature reads 1 degree lower than my main thermometer, but that is easily factored in when setting the alert limits. Setup is very easy. Can't comment on the alert function in real life, but it worked well when I tested it in a glass by adding warm water to room temp water. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Not accurate by MARTIN TRINH

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 3/13/2008 from ANAHEIM, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: I had 3 of these and they were not accurate. I had problems with all 3. Sometimes it would show a much higher temp when it wasn't. I had to use 2 different thermometer in each tank that has this thermometer to make sure my water was about right. The alert is great, the outside temp is useful, but the temp for the water always had problems. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Not Perfect by chrisO

Posted on 3/4/2008 from BREMERTON, WA UNITED STATES

Comments: This product is real easy to set up and use. They give you plenty of length in the probe cord and it seems to last a long time on the battery. However, it reads approximately two degrees warmer than it should (I verified it with a lab grade thermometer), and that is pretty much unacceptable to anyone dealing with a reef tank. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

My 2nd (R.L.B.T.A.), but? by MICHAEL MITCHELL

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 12/12/2007 from EL CAJON, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: This is a replacement to a Rainbow Lifegard Big Temperature Alert (R.L.B.T.A.)that I had for a few years. My Clown Trigger destroyed (ate)the line that went to the sensor into several pieces. Overall I like the (R.L.B.T.A.) very much. The audio temperature alert is awesome and has alerted me when I need to make adjustments to water temperature. The only problem is the temperature calibration is off by -2 degrees, just like my first unit. If you know that in advance you can make your own mental adjustment to the true temperature, but wouldn't it be easier to calibrate the (R.L.B.T.A.) better at the factory? The (R.L.B.T.A.) is still the best thing I can find for the money! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
