Are you tired of forgetting to turn your immersion heater on or
off at the right times, then this Timeguard 24 hour Immersion
heater switch from Palmer Riley Electrical Distribution Ltd. may be
the product for you.
It is the Ideal, most cost effective way of managing your
immersion heater as we all know they are renowned for using vast
amounts of electricity. It is simple, effective and extremely easy
to install. If you're going to attempt the installation yourself,
then go ahead, the wiring diagram leaves no room for error so even
amateurs would struggle to get it wrong. It fits directly on to any
wall with just 2 screws and the operation of the unit is simple.
Just turn the dial to the time that it is now, select the right
pins for whatever time you want the immersion heater to come on at,
and let the timer work its magic. It will rotate round like a clock
and whenever it reaches one of the time pins you have selected it
will turn on, and then when it moves to an unselected pin it will
turn off again. It gives a reassuring click whenever it turns on so
you know that it's working. It uses a Smiths time switch which is
reliable so you should be happy to leave it running all the
time.
The only negatives, and I use the word negative loosely, to this
product is that there is no digital display and there is only one
function, whereas other similar but more expensive products on the
market will have big digital time displays and be multi-functional.
But for the low price of £19.80 what more can you ask for. It is a
solid unit which does its job effectively and reliably.
On Amazon.co.uk it receives a 5 out of 5 star rating and the
people who have left other reviews could not say a bad word about
it only similar things to what I have said, such as a time display
would be useful. However if you want something like that you will
be double or even triple the price of this unit.
All that needs to be said about this timer is that it does
exactly what it says it does, and it does it effectively and
reliably, so if you need an immersion timer but don't want anything
over complicated, look no further, this is the product for you.
