Update analogue immersion timer to digital

mailforkev · 03-04-2025 11:24AM #1

I’ve got an analogue timer attached to my immersion as per the picture. The timer is a bit noisy as it ticks and clicks on/off so I’d like to replace it with something digital and ideally slightly smart. Any suggestions would be very welcome.

The EPH or Horstman 1-channel digital timer is your only man.

Any electrical wholesale will have them.

You might need to move the wiring slightly though.

Are you mistake in your reply? That would not be capable of switching the required load.

I was kind of hoping for one that would fit into the same footprint for convenience.

Whoops, correct. It's the immersion controller rather than the central heating controller.

Here's the EPH version at 13A:

I actually think you should have a 20A switch for an immersion heater. They are typically 3kW.
