Hi,
I have a dual immersion boiler, with one immersion operating on E7. I no longer wish to use E7 after many problems with wrong switching times and so on and feeling I am being conned into paying high day rates in exchange for a small amount of cheaper night electric. I want to make use of both immersions simultaneously.
The E7 immersion only operates during the E7 time period. It appears to be on a separate supply with teleswitch.
I have 8 x 2 CU. All the E7 circuits are on one side/row, everything else on the other side/row. I have storage heaters that I have never used. There are no spare MCB spaces on the "normal"/non E7 side of my CU.
The boiler itself? Two immersions, each with separate FCUs and own MCB on the CU. Another FCU to run the pump and boiler controls.
Is there any easy way of getting these E7 only circuits to work at all times, for example having the main incoming supply wired to feed both rows/sides of my CU?
Or asking my supplier to remove the E7 and enable the two supplies to be merged back into one?
Any ideas welcomed. Why the hassle? I figure that two immersions simultaneously will reduce shower/bath waiting times. A while back I had considered removing the boiler and replacing with electric showers/ instan****er heaters but that seemed like a lot of headache for a reduced hot water flow rate.
regards
Bert
