Dampp-Chaser wattage needed

[John Ross]

I think if you check, Dampp-Chaser will only allow the 25W heater to be sold to the public. This would be for closets, and electronic organs.
The 25W, has insufficient heat to do damage, without the humidistat installed. 
Ok, I suppose there are instances, where it might, if installed, right at the pinblock. 
But I mean generally.
Anything over 25W, requires that it be installed, by a tech, who is SUPPOSED to know the proper procedure.

        Hi to all thanks for your thoughts so far .  I guess it's not clear what the my issue really is . How can it be responsible for a tech or manufacturer to install 25 watts or less without a stat . This opens up the product IMO to miss use and confusion between techs & dealer who think it's proper to install them this way. The sad part is that they actually think they are doing right by their customers . They have done it this way for over 25 years . Our customers don't know the difference until I come on the seen either when the piano has problems or the very first time I meet them to build that relationship of trust . Somehow this needs to change if I'm right .

        Thanks, Brett
