At 150W per m², this means it can control a heating mat or cable of up to \u003cstrong\u003e24m²\u003c\/strong\u003e (3600W ÷ 150W = 24). For the Aqua Elegance range, it is compatible with all available mat sizes and all three loose-lay cable lengths. If you are combining multiple mats on a single circuit, ensure the total wattage does not exceed 3600W.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is adaptive start and how does it work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdaptive start is a learning function that monitors how long your floor takes to reach the target temperature and automatically adjusts the switch-on time accordingly. For example, if you want the floor to be warm at 7am and it takes 30 minutes to reach temperature, the thermostat will learn to switch on at 6:30am — without you needing to manually set an earlier start time. This improves comfort and avoids wasting energy by running the system longer than necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between air temperature and floor temperature control?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003efloor temperature mode\u003c\/strong\u003e, the thermostat uses the included floor sensor probe to monitor the temperature of the floor surface directly. The system switches off when the floor reaches the set temperature — the recommended mode for most installations as it protects the floor covering from overheating. In \u003cstrong\u003eair temperature mode\u003c\/strong\u003e, the thermostat uses its internal sensor to monitor ambient room temperature, switching the heating on and off to maintain the room at the set temperature — similar to a standard room thermostat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between this and the Touchscreen Thermostat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth thermostats are compatible with the same Aqua Elegance underfloor heating systems and carry the same 50-year guarantee. The \u003cstrong\u003eDigital Programmable Thermostat\u003c\/strong\u003e (this product) uses a digital display with push-button controls — straightforward and reliable.
