Any suggestions for a solution will be appreciated.

I have replaced the manifold and pump on my dream maker x400 … I didn’t realize that the thermostat was inserted into a special corner connecting elbow… and replaced the elbow without the thermostat inserted… is there another location that I can place the thermostat and still get an accurate temperature reading for the Tub?

I have a dream maker 400x spa and missed the thermostat placement that goes inside a pipe elbow that is made especially for the thermostat… is there anything else I can do to place the thermostat probe to measure the temperature?
