Hi All,
Got a problem with a big job we've been doing. Firstly, I'm a spark and not a plumber, but the guy we are working for asked me to get a plumber to fit an immersion heater for hot water to wash his horses off.
So my mate who's a plumber installed a 205 litre indirect cylinder, with a 3kw immersion element. It's on a timer to come on at various stages throughout the day, and all was good for the first 3 weeks after he fitted the tank.
Then the first element went, he came down to change it and it looked like it had been in there for 15 years. 5mm of build up on the element. He put another one in, and fine for another 3 weeks. Then that one blew.
So I fitted a titanium one 2 weeks ago, at a cost of around £80 (I know a rip off but they were the only local people who had one). It is a very hard water supply as it is from a spring and they said at the wholesaler to fit titanium.....but this one has lasted less than the copper ones?!
What would you do in this situation???
I'm fed up with having to sort out the thing every 3 weeks!!!
