I am wondering what the most energy efficient way of running this OSO 210 Direct water heater is? currently it is costing a fortune to run it on a timer for 1.5hrs a day! so i am wondering whether losing the timer and running it 24/7 will be better?
According to the brochure to heat the full tank properly takes 3hrs (9kWh, so £1.25 a day). However, it's energy loss over 24hrs is 2kW... So would i be better of running it 24hrs and using 2kW + heating the water i use?
I am asking the question as i live in a tiny 1 bed flat and it's costing me a lot of money to heat water for a shower in the morning!
