Dave, I am interested in the metal meters you speak of. I looked at them on e-bay. Do they make a gauge that you can attach to the surface? These look like the meat thermometers I currently use. If they all have those 5” probe ends, it prevents it from making direct contact to the surface an an in-accurate reading. Forgive my ignorance on this.

Nice Data. I really like me arduino too. I have a question on your plot. Why, when you charge your storage doesn't all of the temps(top,middle and bottom) converge to the same max value, then diverge once you begin to draw off BTUs, and the tank begins to stratify? Seems like at some point all the water in the storage tank should be a constant temp.
Just curious!
