Hi. I am new here and have a problem with my immersion tank. My hot water was getting FAR too hot and in fact caused the cold water tank in the loft to start heating up. I called a plumber (I have home assistance with my house insurance) who came out straight away and diagnosed that the immersion heaters were not working properly and that the thermostats had probably gone.
Although he gave me a quote to come and replace them, I am not able to afford it at the moment and would like to do the job myself.
The cylinder is:
- Hercules
- Economy 7
- 166 litre
- direct flow
I apparently need two heaters:
- 3 KW
- 240V, 50Hz
- Superloy conducted
- 11 inches long
- with individual thermostats
Is it a relatively simple job to change these myself? If so, are there any special tools that I will need? Any help appreciated.
Many thanks
