Hi I replaced a Flash immersion timer with an apt one today and it seemed straightforward but just wondering should the light on isolation switch not always stay on even when the immersion switch is set to off.Also when I flick the switch on the isolation to off and leave the immersion at on...
Hi All.
Its been ages since I have been on here- Fortunately log in details stored on PC.
I have just had a new boiler and 210 ltr unvented tank fitted in the loft to replace a very old Baxi back boiler. I have now fitted a Solic 200 diverter to utilise all the spare capacity from the 3,84 Kw...
I need a 3 phase immersion heater with a DN32/42 mm thread for a commercial pasteuriser. The only ones that I've found so far are not inexpensive! I have now found several for sale on line which are far more affordable but they're rated at 380 volts and advertised as heaters for PV water...
I've purchased a horizontal unvented cylinder that has come with 2 immersion heaters.
I was hoping to use the same circuit the my existing tank used.
What's the best way to wire in for 2 immersions? Upgrade the 2.5mm radial?
Any suggestions welcome
Hi,
Have normal fused immersion heater switch.
I would like to add a smart wifi switch to it so when my Solar is producing over 3k spare, going back to the grid (once the battery is charged) it can heat the water instead, save using the gas for the PM heat up. Will use Home Assistant.
I know...
Can I supply my central heating (programmer, two port valves and boiler) via a fused spur taken from the immersion heater circuit?
They’re currently supplied from a fused spur taken off the ring main; however, kitchen wall’s are being moved around.
There is nothing else on the immersion...
Until last week I had a dual tariff electricity supply with a cheaper overnight tariff. This was good for the storage heating, but now the storage heaters are gone we've changed our electricity to a single electricity tariff.
There are two consumer units with the off peak fuseboard supplying...
Hi, I'm after some help please.
I have a 21 panel 8.5kw system with 5kw export allowance and a Sunsynk 8kw inverter. The inverter has a smart load ability which I'm hoping will save me buying an Eddi or isolar. From what I gather, this will let me set a surplus load to go to this smart load, so...
Hi,
I'm about to switch to an energy tariff whereby i think it would be better/cheaper to heat my water via my immersion heater and not my gas boiler.
I have a plain old switch attached and wanted to install a new WiFi-enabled switch or, failing that, a timer switch.
I've just opened up the...
Hi
Absolutely 0 knowledge of this so excuse language / terms / explanation.
Electric only ground floor 2 bed flat ( 3 external walls)
On peak and off peak switches for immersion (water in a tank…goes to kitchen sink , shower , toilet and bathroom sink) - to note - this water is boiling hot...
Hi, I know it's best practice to run an immersion on a dedicated circuit but am I OK with the following
A new heat pump is being fitted and it has a wiring centre in the airing cupboard next to the cylinder, the wiring centre requires a 3A switched spur to power the circuit board a diverter...
We are replacing our Economy7 hot water cylinder due to a leak that has two immersion heaters and an indirect coil from our multi-fuel stove. My plumber has only been able to find a cylinder with one immersion connection (plus the two 28mm indirect coil connections).
Is there a way to switch...
Just an idle thought - has anyone any experience of using the DC output of solar panels to directly feed an immersion heater, to avoid the expense and losses associated with an inverter? Evidently, a changeover relay would be required to utilise the usual 240V AC supply at times of low or zero...
Can I wire a immersion heater switch to be a normal light switch which shows the garage light is on by the LED on the immersion heater switch
Garage light switch is in the kitchen
Hi everyone
I have 2 x 250 litre unvented indirect DHW cylinders. The primary heat source is the oil fired boiler, but both cylinders have backup immersion heaters. Currently, only one of them is connected - it has a dedicated circuit with a 16a mcb and a DP switch. The cable is massive -...
I'd like to track the power usage on my 4kw electric immersion over time. Can anyone recommend a relatively inexpensive 20A min meter which I can fit in line?
Hi.
I've taken my immersion heater out and want to replace it with an instant hot water heater.
The unit will be placed on a wall at chest height from where the immersion heater control was sited (Horstmann economy 7 quartz)
The fuse on the fuse board says it's a 16A.
I only need it to heat...
