Well the temp controller worked just fine...a norther blew in yesterday evening and when the air temp hit 57, it shut off the aerators, saving me a walk to the pond in 40 mph cold air. Sweet! It should kick back on tomorrow about 11 as temps rise and BBQ commences.
These cheap 110v inline thermostats, $19 on Amazon, cooling or heating (which for our uses is reversed, respectively heating or cooling, claim to handle up to one kilowatt of cooling or heater load, but much less motor loads (about 300 watts).
