Re: Hydrofarm thermostat

Each thermostat is rated for x amount of watts. Heat tape is sold by watts per foot. So figure out how many watts per foot and multiply by the length and make sure it is under the thermostats max wattage

Re: Hydrofarm thermostat

So you could run about 250' of 4 watt heat tape.
