Get the 10 degree controller?
16759

• Adjustable turn-on temperature from 150-240°F
• Turn-off temperature is preset at 10°F below turn-on temperature

Also do you control the 2 fans together? Maybe run 1 fan all the time and control the 2nd fan? It says this model wont control certain hi amp draw fans but you can fix that with a relay.

The Derale 16759 only handles up to 25 amps for both fans. Both of my fans draw 24.5 amps. I could have two of them I guess, do you think that is too close and could burn up the controllers, there's a spike when they turn on, right?? I just spend a wad of money getting the fancy controller that handles around 60 amps. Does the 16759 have a soft start? Cause that would mean they wouldn't for sure burn up.

I have no IDEA why they made them turn on and off 15 degrees apart. That is a huge gap there.
