    My iboost only diverted 3.5kWh today. Still not hot enough for me but the thermostat is set at 70 degrees. Need to get it hotter.

    Is there a point in keeping the thermostat at 70 C if it only heats the top part/short length immersion?

    Just want a thermostat that goes beyond 70 degrees.
    Can not find one anywhere.
    70 seems to be the max.
