Thanks Harry, I understand that...

Just havent had to use the heater yet.... If it takes 20 mins to warm up to ~78 in summer when my stat opens, then it could be a long cold drive to work.

So I want an inline stat to maintain 90 degrees and the FBH to make it get there quickly.... thats what I meant....
