Cut off WON Controller

[RichT]

After 2 years my WON Pro-Heat II lived up to its reputation and failed. Has anyone had any success simply cutting the heater off the controller, installing a 110 plug, and controlling it with their Aqua Controller?

Thanks

Sure I have done that.
Two years out of a Won--you were very lucky. I had the first one fail in 2 months and the free replacement only lasted about 6 months. R

ha at one point i thought I was the only one. Mine died after a few months months. I sent it in for repairs and the sent it back saying it was fixed, but itstill wouldn't work. retailers should not sell thier heaters.

If the problem is that the digital temperature displays an outrageous number then you can simply replace the probe. I did it with mine works fine now. I used a cheap 15$ digital thermometers temp probe.

I've had them fail as well liked how they look so I bought another one, going on over a year on one and 3 years on the other and still working
