    What are the increments on the old style ebo jager heaters? 1 thru 9 and and # 5 is circled. I can't remember. My heaters taking a !%^&# right now. Temp is @ 72 normally 80. Got it covered and everything looks ok. I can post a pic of my heater if it will help.

    Set it on 3 or 4 I'm not sure I'd trust it myself the little contact points on them act just like a old car ignition breaker point they pit over time from the arching and will stick closed and then its a problem.. To make a fast calibration just set it in a small pail of cool water and see where it cuts off at then set it in the tank you want to heat.
