[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 542406, member: 6969"] Okay this is really simple. Your description of "pushing buttons" suggested you had some form of really complicated controller. Those are standard switches, not buttons. And your description of "boiler", it is not a boiler but a standard direct heated hot water tank. Normal operation: leave the "night immersion" switch on all the time and the "water heater" switch off. This should automatically heat the whole tank at night at the cheap rate using the bottom immersion heater on the tank. BUT do check, by going to look at the switch in the middle of the night to make sure that the light on the "night immersion" switch does come on automatically typically from midnight to 7AM, but timings may vary from place to place. The "water heater" switch as you have found will operate at any time, and that is there so if you have used up all the hot water in the tank, you can manually turn that on when needed to heat just the top half of the tank at any time of day but at the peak rate of electricity. Turn that off when not in use. Report back if the "night immersion" switch lights up in the night please. [/QUOTE]
