Sorry about that they are Ebo-Jager.

Also, don't even look at the numbers on the heater... My heaters are usually set much higher (ex; heater set to '80' but heats water to 82-84). IME they are 2-4 high...
I plugged the chiller back in last night. Heater is completely out now. When I woke this morning temp was at 80.5......

That is my experience too, my last heater ran 2 deg warmer. Purhaps the ones recently removed ran 4 deg warmer....

I had an epiphany last night around 3am and sat straight up....

My auto top off return hose is positioned near the Return hose which feeds into the chiller before pumping into the display. I bet this had something to do with the wild temp readings.... this along with the Chiller and Heater fighting for control.

What do you guys think?
