Cheap dual stage controller plans/set up?

[themolt]

Anyone know of any ways to cheaply (=<$75) control a heater and fan?

Thanks, but it is single stage (price is same as other marine sites, maybe $5 cheaper). I will keep as an option.

If its just for a fan you dont need a dual stage. Just connect to the other side of the relay for the fans.

do not really know what you mean by "other side" and "relay", i'd rather have a pre-wired one. but you're suggesting to control temperature, to use the controller to turn on one device when a specific temp is achieved. is dual stage not the most optimal?

The dual stage allows for a temp differential. The single has a double throw relay. So if the heater is on one side and the fans are on the other then when one is on the other is off. Fans are not very efficient so you wont see a battle like you would with a chiller.

Make sense
