Our water heater is set at the lowest setting. 1. At what temperature does the Ladybug reduce the water flow? 2. Can the sensor temp be adjusted?

I believe Ladybug is hard-wired to activate at 95 degrees. It cannot be adjusted.

I have had mine about 9 months and works fine, I have it set at 88, House temperature is 72 degrees. I like the digital display, no guessing how much it was changed. I have not had a water bed heater last longer than 5 years. I like the lower output dons not make a hot spot over the heater, next time I will use two so one does not need to work as hard. I have had a water bed since the 70s and we can not use a regular matters, Max98327

I have a half filled turtle tank. I bought this a few days ago. My digital thermostat is at opposite end of the tank. Yesterday I noticed it rose to 82 degrees. The water was pretty warm to my hand. This may have something to do with the heat lamps being on as well. I now monitor the thermostat regularly and turn the water heater off periodically.

there is a control knob on the front of heater lower face. I have it set one mark below the a onthe dail . this gives me 125 drgee water at the closes tap

The thermostat is just a dial...high to low. I just set it to the lowest setting. According to the specs, the lowest setting has the heater coming on at 35 degrees.

I have left mine on very low numerous times. You just have to experiment with the setting to get the temp you want. Keeping the bathroom door closed helps to hold the temperature.

I had a similar issue just the other day. It seemed the water temp wasn't moving. I unplugged it, let the heater sit (in the water) unplugged for about 20 minutes. Then plug it in again. I think the heater needs time to get acclimated to the water temp, before the filament or whatever starts cooking. Give that shot before you start slamming the heater against the wall. = )

My guess is that you have the "low temp" value set higher than what it is sensing as the current temperature. I never use the low temp thing so I have it set at 35 degrees and I never have the issue you are describing.

The thermostat is not set by temperatures. Levels 1-5 settings...setting 1 is pretty low...setting 5 is really high.

yes, after awhile, the sensor in the temp probe goes bad. It reads the water temperature at lower than it really is and thus the heater overheats. You can adjust downward the temperature to compensate, BUT THE SETTING RESETS TO 79 F EVERY TIME THERE IS A POWER FAILURE so you could end up overheating your tank anyway. Avoid. Right now, 79F setting for me = 89F actual water temperature!

The thermostat is on the front of the water heater. I had to turn it down from the standard setting.

No problem. Just do not allow the water to boil off completely. I use a programable thermostat to shut the heater off or hold at a desired temperature.

You cannot set the temperature. There is a thermostat that regulates the temperature so the water does not freeze.

I keep mine set at about 30 degrees. I have a thermometer on the wall and when I am not in my shop I turn the thermostat down to 30. If I turn it down more the heater will not run at all.

When I originally put mine back together, I assembled it incorrectly - limiting my hot water. I went back and realigned the gears on the temperature selector so that it would give me the entire range of temps.

Mine regulates the water temperature near the heater to 50°F for ambient temperatures between 29 and 50°F. In that range the thermostat opens and closes to provide the average power needed to hold the temperature to 50°F. When the air temperature and/or sun raise the water temperature above 50°F the thermostat is continuously off.

With temperatures in the 33°F to 35°F range, mine heats the water near the heater to 50°F while running at a 75% duty cycle. At lower temperatures the duty cycle will reach 100% and the heater will not be able to supply enough power to maintain 50°F. Below that temperature of the water near the heater will be a nearly constant rise above the air temperature,. For my situation the temperature rise above ambient will be about 21°F. I would expect mine to freeze over when the ambient air temperature is 11°F.
