ADVICE BEFORE BUYING

There are 5 possible reasons for the immersion heater to stop working

1. There is no electricity supply to the immersion heater.
2. The over temperature trip in your Immersion heater's thermostat has cut out.
3. The thermostat in your immersion heater is faulty.
4. The immersion heater has failed to earth.
5. The immersion heater has gone open circuit.

Assuming you have identified a new immersion is required and your old immersion is not a Tesla and you need help determining the correct immersion to purchase, there are a number of factors that need to be considered.  Whether it be a vented, unvented, economy 7, solar system, copper or stainless steel cylinder and side or top mounted.

• Selection of the boss/head size, kW requirement, length of the immersion heater, and finally the correct immersion heater material that is conducive to the water hardness in your geographical area (see link above under Product Details)

  • What Water Hardness is your area - Click here to see your area for Water Hardness :
  • Soft water areas - Fit copper.
  • Moderate to hard - We recommend fitting either incoloy or titanium.
  • Hard to very hard - Incoloy will suffice but we highly recommend fitting titanium which will last longer.
  • Most Immersion heaters have a product code either on the side wall of the cover or on the top of the cover. This code will be a series of letters and numbers please see images. Send a photo of this to us and we will confirm a like for like replacement.
  • If your immersion has no codes please provide to us:  
  • the length of your immersion heater
  • Measure from the underside of the brass boss to the end of the heating element. However if your immersion heater is fitted in the side wall of your hot water cylinder (horizontally) then it will usually have a length of between 11 and 16 inches. If it is fitted to the top of your hot water cylinder (vertically) then it usually has a length of 18 to 36 inches dependant on the size of your hot water cylinder.
  • the Power rating in watts
  • the size of the thread of the brass boss
  • All domestic immersion heaters have a BSP thread size on the brass boss. The actual measurement across the diameter of this boss is 0.25 inches larger than the stated BSP thread size. For example a 2.25 inch BSP thread will have a diameter of approx 2.5 inches see attached illustration.
  • whether your hot water system is vented or unvented
  • Unvented cylinders work directly from the mains supply of water and are essentially a hot water storage cylinder
  • Vented cylinders are connected, via a vent pipe, to the cold water storage tank which is usually located within the loft space of most properties.

Part P disclaimer regarding fitting of Immersion Heaters and thermostats.  It is a legal requirement that these units are fitted by a competent and suitably qualified person in accordance with Part P of the Building regulations and that installations are compliant with all local national rules and the IEE wiring regulations.
