Are you suggesting to leave the switch in place because this contains a fuse, to come before the timer? Or just to turn on and off all the power to the timer if necessary? I ask because the timer has an on/off override button. Also it would be a messy install compared with a straight swap. I...

Hi all, Finally I have a chance to write. Life has been very hectic! Riveralt asked: what do the manufacturers instruction say regarding providing a means of isolation. Does it say you have to utilise a 13Amp Fused Connection unit? A 20Amp Dual Pole Switch or nothing? What does it...

to be honest in my absolutely limited experience, I can't understand why something needs to be so complicated. Take a switch, replace it with an automated switch. Surely it should be a straight swap, except that the component now automates what was previously being turned on and off by hand.

So okay to follow riverALT's wiring advice? Thanks

To be precise, it was this product: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270902054948?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

yes, I understand this, thank you. I never dive into a job anyway without first trying to understand the advice, and cross check it etc. I tread carefully when learning. Certainly anything to do with wiring.

by looking at the picture of the existing wiring, would it be the main three wires at the top which would go into the main three sockets on the timerswitch? And what would happen to the redundant 2 wires connecting the existing fuse. (since the new timerswitch will have a fuse inside) If...

my answers might be a bit delayed as racing around getting ready to leave for Russia in 7 days. The timer says it is built 13A. When that blows, it will need a new timer. The immersion heater is on a 16A ring. I don't know any other details about the immersion heater, it is buried in a...

Hi all, I've bought an electronic timer to replace the on/off switch for my immersion heater. The timer switch has N L-IN L-OUT and to the existing switch are a different set of wires, with some going to the switch-fuse. Could you kindly shed some light about which...

Hi all, I have a 6x7M flat roof mid-terrace concrete house. There is a leak coming into the bedroom during very heavy rain. (luckily this winter has been dry!!) I am going abroad for 3 months in 9 days, so am looking to make a quick temporary repair. I've been up on the roof a few...

Hi all, I'm wondering, you can buy a special film which you put on glass (eg a shop window) and this serves as a screen to the outside world, with its source as a projector inside the shop. However, with transparent film, I'm very interested to know if customers on the inside of the shop can...

Hi, funny question perhaps to ask. I've recently installed an extractor fan in the bathroom. It seems to be doing a pretty good job, it clears the humidity after a shower quite quickly. If I hold a tissue over the vent, the tissue stays on the vent. That way I know it is sucking. My...

Hi all, I've searched high and low on ebay for a soft, quiet bathroom switch. The one I have has a hard snappy click to it when pressed. Thus I'm always aware that people are going in and out of the bathroom. What I would really love is a high tec switch, that just activated when with the...

I have emailed the seller. They wrote back and said it doesn't matter which way around the wiring goes. :? Here is a picture. Could you give me your educated opinion on which is live and which is neutral? The wire block has a white and black wire coming from one side, and black...
