I can't seem to find a thermostat that has a probe that can turn on a 120v water pump. I found thermostats with outlets on ebay but no probe.

I need the probe to go in the dwc res, and if the water get to hot it will turn on a pump, that will circulate the water through a hose into a insulated tube of ice water, and return the cool water, bring the temp down. And shut off when at target temps.

But, just can't find the thermostat I need. For one, I need it for coolling not heating, 2. I need one with a probe, 3. I need it to have a 120v outlet to turn on the pump.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I got it now. There is no controler that can do this for cheap. But, its dirt cheap to make one, Heres how.

Get a thermostat that come with a probe (easy to find). Get a 12vdc power pack, and get a 12vdc coil relay 120vac contacts. feed 12vdc to the thermostat, when thermostat turns on it'll send 12v to relay and in-turn turn on 120vac device.
