Right.There are 2 elements, bottom is E7 and top is permanent.
Well, it will not 'boil'; it will get to whatever temperature you set, then switch off.I was basically looking to avoid having the E7 element boiling on and off through the night for the sake of wasted energy and giving the element longer life.
Presumably the tank is well insulated and unlikely to cool significantly.
So, as Simon has pointed out you do not really need a timer.
If you think the water is too hot in the morning, turn down the thermostat.
If you do not want a tankful, switch off the E7 and boil a kettle.
Yes, but the E7 only has power for 7 hours and once to temperature will be switched off.From my understanding the suggested time controller would be fed by both E7 and permanent supply spurs. The E7 would then be on the 24 hr time control and the permanent / booster would have the ability to manually switch on with the choice of staying on for 30/60/120 mins.
