How is the living deep down in the earth? It must be a mighty deep hole where this baths are standing... I'm too lazy to google the formula for height/pressure dependencies, but to get more than 1.6bar air pressure (according to my steam table, this is the pressure where water boils at 110deg Celcius) it must be pretty deep under the earth (or under water). Ah... key word here is THERMOSTAT. It can be set anywhere you wish over 100C but the water stays at the boiling point until completely boiled away. I just set the temp control at anything over boiling and it does the trick. These waterbaths should more properly be termed liquid baths as they can also be filled with mineral oil and maintained well above 100C (no practical use in photography though). As an aside, about once every 6 months I set it at about +45C to gently heat up my ethylene glycol to disolve ascorbic acid and phenidone in it for my solution A. Usually, though, it remains at +37C for micobiology use.
