    Question about Economy 7 hot water cylinders

    Thanks the landlord has already contacted an electrician, he suspects a faulty time clock. I'm just curious. The immersion had clearly blown and needed replacing. Its that classic mix of plumber and sparky, like an electric shower. So if that circuit doesn't come live than how does the time...
