This is the first year I’ve not been to court ( though there is still time ) . Usually twice a year on average . Ever watched ‘ Suits’ ? That’s me that is !
No idea why it’s done like that . Perhaps the ‘plan ‘ ( not my plan ) was a timer for when demand is higher . I expect they didn’t understand it’s a hmo and ( especially now ) demand for hot water can be 24/7 I.e shift work so not a simple boost in the morning type scenario you would get in a ‘family’ household .
What I need is hot water 24/7 so the timer might be pointless BUT ( I remember now ! ) there are 2 elements so assume one is the timer the other the always on .
Was installed 2 years ago - can’t remember!!!!
Yeah but the things not working and it’s a rental . Best not I touch it - liability and all that . Suspect the switch because although it was lit when I left and subsequently was not lit tenant said water was Luke warm for a bit then cold . So guessing it did heat for a bit before the switch failed again . This sparky isn’t the one that installed it . This one I’ve used 100 times and trust - so if there’s anything suspect / not regs he’ll sort it . Then of course bill me ?
Tenant just informed me no hot water and that 2nd switch is not lit again . Got him to prod it - no joy . So although the neon light doesn’t guarantee anything I think I need a sparky
Lol ! I don’t know ! I didn’t wire it !
?
I’ll see if it works ( I’ve allowed an hour so will contact tenant now ) . In theory though even if bottom switch was off , top timed one should of provided a tank of hot water anyway ....
Tenants tell me no hot shower water which comes from a uvc .
Taking a look I see for some reason the second switch down with orange light is not lit . I literally apply almost no pressure and the light comes on . So assume the switch mechanics are dodgy . The orange light though now ‘wobbles’ ( or my eyes are bust ) - is that a further sign of an impending issue ?
Not experienced that . But installer who claimed to have a Tesla - said it switches instantly; you don’t even notice . This though I need to test for real !!
I probably need at least to find a ups that’s compatible with the nas I.e the ups can tell the nas to shutdown . I then need to find maybe a ups compatible with homeseer to shut that pc down ( though I may be able to get the nas ups to trigger a z wave event which homeseer can pick up on )
