    1 water heating element, 2 feeds?

    I get the feeling asking this will produce head shaking, I'll ask anyway... I have a hot water tank with a single immersion heater. Currently that is fed by a box I fitted that re-directs excess solar from my solar panels direct to the element (via the distribution board of course). That's...
