3kW Immersion Heater

[jimjim2991]

This is completely separate to my other thread.

I have an 11" 3kW titanium immersion heater that I use to heat a small tank of water. I've been using it for a long time. With the tank that I have I can heat up 10L of water to 70C. It works, but recently, I've heard popping noises and I've taken that as a sign to change my thermostat.

So, I got a new thermostat from CEF but it hasn't helped the water to reach 70C (only around 55C), so I returned the thermostat and they ordered me in a new one that apparently did not have some kind of temperature restriction on it (not sure what this means really?). I tried that and still I was only getting up to around 55C...

I can't think of a reason why I'm not achieving the same temperature with a different stat. Can anybody help me out with this? I just want a new stat that works like the old one!

They can have the pleasure, of removing scaled up hot water tank, with a bunged up drain off. I'll pop round and change the flex!

Blood tests required, don't think 1/2 bottle of Pinot Noir would give very good results

hosspitals today have some wonderful technology.i'm sure there's a program in their software to allow for normal peeps that imbibe of the fruits of nature and can factor any irrelevant parts out.. and as for blood tests, you can count me out unless heavily sedated. 8 pints would achieve this.

Don't think that would go down to well with Dr and the Medics

I've read quite recently, that red wine is now deemed good for you, so you would only be following doctors orders. Splash it on your salty chips as well.
