Hi,
I have recently moved to a new build house. In our airing cupboard we have a Range Tribune HE indirect water cylinder, with a separate gas boiler in the kitchen. The cylinder has an immersion heater fitted. Connected to the whole thing are three electric cables - one going to the immersion, and the other two are I think going to the thermostat, and something that looks like a pump maybe? The three cables go into the wall, and next to this entry point is a single electrical switch.
Is this the normal setup, with only a single switch for these three cables? Presumably this means that I can't manually switch the immersion on or off - I guess it is meant to be switched on all the time (so that the thermostat works) but only kicks in when the boiler isn't heating the water enough to reach the required temperature.
