Immersion heater timer

[Adam Smith]

Evening all,

Could anybody recommend a good timer control for use on an immersion heater please.

I have previously used the Hortsmann range but the client has specified that he would like multiple timer settings (ie. having say 3 different on periods during 24 hours) as well as a boost button. May be Hortsmann do offer a unit with this function? I have only spoken to the client over the phone and from what I gather it is not on any sort of eco7 plan.

Thank you

Could be a winner. I see it has the slide out pins for different timing periods. Do you have any experience using this one? My only concern is it making that churning sound as it rotates!

Not this one in particular but have used electro mechanical timers before. Sound is not usually of a level to be noticed to be honest.

Ok lovely. Guess the client won't be spending much of his time in the cupboard any way!!

Thanks for your help
