sous-vide-Filter: I have a pot of water and I can buy an immersion heater or aquarium heater, but how do I control it to maintain an arbitrary temperature 40-100C within 1 degree, for cheap? External themostats for homes and microbreweries and aquaria seems to top out at 32C, and cost upwards of 50$. Scientific water baths and ovens cost $800+. And my oven is not accurate enough.

Hi all, thanks in advance for the assist: This weekend I started running the A/C in the house (we put in a programmable thermostat last summer). the prob. we are having is that it runs constantly no matter what temp. you set it to (my wife set it to 90 last night as we were going to bed and it continued running until I gave in and turned the whole thing off). the previous night I turned it on, with the temp. setting high (mid 80's) and went to sleep and we woke up freezing in the AM. the fan is set to Auto, and nothing about our "setup" has changed since last summer. Except that it doesn't stop running when it gets to the set temp. Thanks again for any help or insight the community might have.

Replacing the old mercury thermostat in our old house with a programmable one for an oil furnace. The old one is a two wire hook up, one red/white and the other black. What would be the correct configuration to the new thermostat? Black to R, Red/White to W? I've searched high and low for the answer.

Why are we comfortable with the thermostat set at 70 (Fahrenheit) in winter for heater, but we would be cold if it was set that low for the air conditioner in summer? Also, in winter here in SW Fla., on days it's warmer outside than what the thermostat is set on, my husband turns the heat off and opens the house, and then the temperature inside drops. Same thing in summer - if it's cooler outside he turns the air off, opens up, and the temperature inside goes high. He says the heat/air won't come on when it's nicer outside. I say that's the thermostat's job - to keep the inside temperature steady regardless of what's happening outside. Who's right?
