"Rancho" Model Help

[MarineDreamer]

So I'm looking for a Ranco controller for two 500 watt heaters and one 1/2 horse chiller. Which model do I get?

P.S. Sorry for the poke Scooty, couldn’t help myself!!!

User selectable sensor failure mode. Allows the user to determine how the controller will operate when the sensor or sensor wire fails.
Operates in either heating or cooling mode.

Get the Johnson controller or the Ranco 2 stage.

Oh If you want the two stage then use this one!

You can call to get two plugs for both heaters, shouldn't be much extra!

Sweet! Thanks Scooty. That’s exactly what I needed.

I think that I’ll go with a two stage. Unless you think that it would better to have the redundancy of having two separate controllers? I was thinking that I would just run the heaters off of the Ranco controller, not buy the cheap controllers with them.

I’ll email the company for the extra wiring for two heaters and one chiller.

Johnson controller has a choice of fail safes but both are reliable, adding the extra cord for the second heater should be no problem. I wouldn't buy two units.
