Hi guys
Back thinking on the good old' not enough hot water' thing.
I think I'm going to try replacing the standard, immersion heater mounted thermostat with an externally mounted one. Reason being that I suspect the thermostat switches off a bit earlier than it should, as the water at the top of the tank is roasting, whilst the water further down the tank isn't.
I've been told it needs to be at least 15 or 16amp rated. Will this one be Ok?
Can someone advise how far down the tank I should fit this - about half way at a guess? Any problems with fixing it a bit lower?
Obviously the water at the top of the cylinder will get really hot if the water at the centre is to be heater to 60 degrees - I dont' have a problem with the hot water coming out really hot, but are there any other problems I should be aware of?
I'm also not sure on how it'd be wired up, just 2 wires as the existing thermstat is?
Thanks for your time
