what programmer to use for immersion?

[meady]

Been asked to install some type of programmer for water immersion heater. The landlord is pee,d off with the tennants leaving the immersion permantly on so he wants it to go on and off at set times. Not sure what programmer to install so any suggestions will be a massive help, cheaper the better though

Yep I considered that lol

Just wanted to know what ones are best at the lower end of the price range (landlord is tight beyond belief)!

Spotted this one.......It will do the job but are there any cheaper out there?

not sure if that one will do it for you,

check the load switchable,

we actually fit that particular model for boilers, is it not something like 6a load?

you need something to switch 16a or so really to be on the safe side.

you can get little simple analogue ones for about a tenner I think.

I did, thats how I knew they were the ones we fit for boiler controls.

in all honesty Ive always understood to allow 16a for immersion heater.

what size MCB are you protecting it with? 10a or less?

otherwise they equipment is not suitable for fitting to the circuit,

Ive not yet seen a 13a MCB.

you cannot protect this timer with a 16a MCB as it is only suitable for handling 13a.
