HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS

TWIN ELEMENT MODEL

This type of water heater has two heating units, each with its own thermostat.

One heating u

nit is at the base of the water heater and the other near the top.

• Bottom heating unit

During normal operation this

heating unit

supplies all the hot

water.

• Top heating unit (Booster)

This heating unit only operates

during period

s of high demand to

provide an additional supply of

heated water.

• Electrical connection

The two heating units are wired for

non-simultaneous operation,

so that

only one heating unit can operate at

a time. The bottom heating unit is

usually connected to an Off-Peak

(overnight) or time controlled

electricity supply and the top

heating unit to a continuous supply.

Some electricity suppliers allow

both heating units to be metered at

the Off-Peak or controlled tariff.

NOTE: Power must be available to the top heating unit circuit at all times

for this

water heater to operate as designed.

GOING ON HOLIDAY?

If you plan to be away from home for one or two nights, we suggest you leave

the

water heater switched on. However, if you plan to stay away more than a

few nights, conserve energy by switching the water heater off at either the

switchboard or isolating switch.
