Pinpoint Temp meter reading

[firedogg2]

Thought I would expand my search from the equipment section. See if any one here has any ideas.. Thank you in advance.

We just built a new set and are using a Pinpoint Temp Meter. Its been reading higher than I was excepting the tank to be. I put in the probe from the old set(Coral Life temp) and its reading much lower. The Coral life is the one we have been relying on for a while now, has it been wrong this whole time or is the new one off? Which one do I trust? FYI, both probes are right next to each other.

i just got one a couple months ago and it's reading a couple degree's high then three other ones i have in there to compare temps.i had it for to long,so i can't reture it.

While not perfect, you could put both probes into ice water and see what you get. The value cannot be below 32, but could be a degree or two higher.

I'd contact Pinpoint and talk to Lou Dell (owner). I'm sure he'll help guide you to a solution. :)
