We’ve got a two bedroom flat. The hot water is supplied by a Tempest non vented immersion heater. A couple of months ago, one of the two immersion elements went and was replaced.

Everything is working fine but I’m a bit worried I’ve set the timer incorrectly. This is a pic of the timer:




Am I correct in thinking that I’ve set it to come on for a couple of hours at around 6am ie with the pushers forwards means it’s set to be on and with the pushers to the rear means it’s off?

There are two cables that go to the two elements. One goes to the timer and one goes to a switch which I presume is manual override (which is turned off at the switch).

I only ask because currently the water is really hot all day long and I was wondering whether this or normal if the immersion heater is only on for a couple of hours a day. Or alternatively I’ve got the timer settings wrong?

Thanks for the help. I’ll reset the timer when I get in tonight.

Cheers for that. I thought Hive was only for central heating. I'll look into it.
