Should the link not work just google aq150. Brand is Mannix

Price is $18.00 and temperature range is -58 to +158F
 For the LD rear bath we put the wire through the night light opening and tucked the sensor into the foam insulation around the water heater as others suggested. The display is on the wall between the stove and refrigerator. The other suggested thermometer may be of better quality but this one works and the temperature range is more than adequate.

Harry,
 I realize it is subjective, but at what temperature do you (and any others that want to reply) set the hot water temperature alarm?
 Doing a Google search seemed to indicate that shower temperatures were in the 110 to 125 degree range.  Is this in agreement with your (or any other person's) experience?
 We have an alarm on order, and I would like to have a good starting point to save time before we experiment to find our 'own' temperature.

While we don't have an aquarium alarm (yet) I use a regular ice thermnometer mounted the same way.  For me 100 degrees id just about perfect.

That sounds way too hot to me! I prefer 95-96 degrees F., but I normally run the temperature up to 93-94 degrees and then shut the water heater off, knowing that within a minute or two the thermometer will indicate 95.
