shaver aquastat

[Boilerman]

Hello, anyone still using Shavers so called Aquastat? Ive gone thru three of them in 4 weeks.I just purchased a honeywell aquastat with a well and I plan to plumb it in my outlet water to my inside boiler.but this is probably just a waste of time as they, as stated here, only have a failure rate of 1 percent. Seeems funny to me that they can tell you a failure rate of a manufacturing part , but have no clue as to when your stove will ship, Ha Ha Ha. Think up some more shaver!

I ditched their aquastat and installed a digital Ranco which is working awesome: More info here: http://arboristsite.com/showpost.php?p=1230405&postcount=4

I to am experiencing a bad "aquastat" after only a month of use. Another one is on the way but I am keeping my eyes open for other options.
