I've been using one to switch my IH as well.
However, it only gets used in the summer months - so it's probably
only switched a few hundred times.
Keith, what you say about Thermostats is interesting. One problem I
have is that my immersion produces boiling hot water - ie. almost too
hot to shower under. There is no obvious thermostat on my tank, and
I was of the opinion that immersion heater elements had no thermostat
and were always on. I was thinking of buying a "strap-on"
(oops!)
model that fits around the tank, but is there a another way
of "regulating" the immersion element? Do they have some sort of
setting internally?
