thanks dennis. i looked back to 2005 i think and abe said about the same thing. he also said that with the pid i would probably need to put in a rotary pump and that if he was going to do any mod he'd do the rotary pump first so i think i'm going to wait for a while. it may even make more sense to sell the bII at some point and buy a new one with pid and rotary pump. it's working so good now i hate to mess with it.

New controller and new thermocouple. Everythings programed and working great. How much difference does the pid make? I tried monday and today to order the kit but it wasn't ready. My bII had been idle since last wed or thurs and i was going nuts. Now that the parts have arrived and everything seems back to normal i'm having second thoughts. If i had known that the pid kit was going to be available this soon i would have waited but now that it's all up and running i'm wondering should i just wait until this controller or thermocouple fails? ideas? thanks. herman ________________________________ From: Ira <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, January 18, 2011 3:54:24 PM Subject: Re: E1 on power up At 10:37 AM 1/18/2011, you wrote: > I hope you're right.

Well, that's the same part I had Barry order and it came with the controller and the sensor. While you don't need to change the sensor, unless you're going to change to the PID right away, I would just for the overshoot readings. Barry was surprised the first time he turned it on, set it to 92 and saw the temperature go to 94. the stock controller lies to make you think it's more stable than it is.
