DS18B20+ is easiest for Arduino because the analogue to digital conversion is already done for you. Also the 1 wire network is simple to set up and use and works over relatively long distances with no problems.

The wire needs to be rated for mains voltage and 2W same as the potentiometer. In practice anything except the thinnest hook up wire will be OK.

The STC-1000 is down well below $18 again on Amazon.

For primary I would guess it doesn't matter much - it's in not there long enough.

I use one of these Magnesium anodes from Camco. :)

Calibrate with ice water.

I don't think so, the final letter may indicate colour or something.

Yeah CS6364C is what you want. Marinco is usually the cheapest, it is compatible with the other brands.

If your pump is brushless, like most are, PWM is a bit hit and miss. In my experience with a little tan pump PWM around 1 kHz does work but makes a horrible noise. At higher frequencies (like 20 kHz) it doesn't work.
