Hi everyone
I'm sure problems like mine have been shared numerous times before, but here goes.
We have a large copper immersion heater tank which is heated by a 27" single heating element that sits on the top of the tank.
We've had problems with it recently, in that it stopped heating the tank. So, as has been done in years gone by, we bought a replacement (full replacement, not just the thermostat) and got it changed.
Now, the thing is set up at the same temperature, and on for the same length of time, yet does not produce the same results.
Last week, we could stick the immersion heater on for around an hour and it would be hot enough to have a fairly deep and fairly warm relaxing bath, if you drained the tank of all its hot water. But this was OK as you knew it'd only be an hour and the tank would be hot enough for the next person.
Any ideas what might have changed?
