Inkbird Detachable Aquarium Probe, 6.6ft/2m, for Heating and Cooling Temperature Controller for Freshwater Saltwater Aquarium

My temperature probe went bad at just about a year of use. I was happy that I found this replacement. I used two butt splice connectors to wire it into the controller. Quick and easy repair and I’m back up and running. Sure beats buying a whole new unit.

It works. I use it for my temperature controller for a freshwater aquarium set up. I would recommend the product. Only issue would be that they need to replaced every few years. They randomly just stop working properly after a few years.

Ordered two days ago. I went with this plastic probe as my metal one went haywire past few weeks. You can only calibrate broken one for so long. Received today and installed today with the butt splice method. Calibration is required as this was .5 degrees cold calibration done side by side with a digital calibration as well as my trusty kitchen thermometer. I agree with another reviewer that the plug should be attached rather than having to either butt splice/solder/electrical tape. So silly. But the finished product is nice. The connector to plug in is cool to have. Make sure you plug in firmly or you’ll get an error code. Glad to have my keezer up and running in short order.

Thanks inkbird for offering an upgrade/ replacement so I didn't have to junk my whole temp controller unit. I like the plug and waterproof sensor in this version. It's sure to help me avoid damaging it in the future.

Does the job

It was unclear from the product description if I could use this with an ITC-308. When I purchased my unit I knew that the probe wasn't rated to be continuously submerged, but I took a chance. After a couple of years, the probe failed and it started reading well above my high alarm threshold. I ordered this replacement sensor and installed it. The sensor works great, is now designed to be used submerged, and it has a plug so if I need to replace it again I can easily swap it out.

Internal short out of package.Return had expired.Checked cable to verify the quality of components. Wiring was not copper was oxidized aluminum causing the short. Pure chinesium.

The old probe was reading 125⁰F on my inkbird 306T wifi. Open the back with a screw driver, then snip the old leads strip and solder the new leads onto the old. Now it's reading normal temps. I would gladly rate this replacement part 5 stars if they put the plug that's on the board on the replacement probe. Atleast the fix should be one and done, if it happens again it's a quick headphone type jack to plug in the new one.
