TT-MTM wall controller This controller is a custom designed and manufactured controller for Heatstrip. It has been designed for ease of use and low running costs of your heater. It provides both temperature control (allowing the user to turn the heat output up or down depending on the ambient temperature and conditions) and a timer for automatic heater operation.
Carrying out the cleaning process at least every three months will reduce the amount of build up and keep the Heatstrip in good condition. If the heater is in a corrosive environment eg. salt spray, we recommend that you clean your heater with a light spray of fresh water every week.
