How do you use this? V. No hot water

AdladUK · 24 Jan 2011 at 18:39

So I had one of these stupid timer things installed (not my choice). This is pretty much the exact model:

Please would someone be kind enough to instruct me on how to get this on 24/7 (I don't care about it only being on certain times of the day).

Right now I have zero hot water, need to get ready, and it would be really helpful if I could get a step by step on what to do.

Thank you

The little switch in the centre, put it up to 'I' and not the clock.

That little thing in the middle that has three positions? Up = Always on, middle = when the timer says on, down = never on.

The thing round the outside says what times it should be on. I think its push the little things out to turn it on. Give it a go and check the boiler to see if it comes on.

NOTE: For any of this to work the thermostat has to say that it should be on. ie. set it to hotter than room temperature.

Thats how it works for me anyway.

If that timer is for the Immersion and you have that on 24/7 then you'll have one hell of an Electric Bill.

Am I correct in saying that all I need to do for the boiler to be on (producing hot water) is move the little switch to the top?

is this switch for the immersion heater (as suggested by its name)or for the boiler ?

you dont need to keep producing hot water 24/7 either , you heat it up and it should stay hot for a while

It's for the water boiler

Really I do not care about it being on 24/7, it has been for well over a year before this.

I just need to know how to get this thing producing hot water constantly please
