Just fitted my 3kw immersion heater it took 20 minutes and cost £30 with all the accessories well worth it, not expecting to use it for constant hot water but just to use in really cold weather to stop it freezing

Looks good where did you get it? I've been filling with hot from the tap but it's a bit of a pain so I'm getting an electrician to fit sockets on outside wall so I can just plug in.

Toolstation, I tested it yesterday for about 40 mins and the water was 9 c and in the short space of time it got up to 28 so very impressed it has a thermostat built in with 4 different settings but I will probably leave it on 30c

Thinking about doing this, but a bit concerned that the tank walls aren't thick enough.

I have one of the new Ionics tanks that are a lot thinner than Wydale.

Just wondering... Do you anticipate any issues with the mechanical flange when used for a thinner tank than a Wydale?

[alank]

Thanks Stephen I will be having mine done hopefully after holiday what size tank you using?

[Stephen burton]

My tank is a 350 and the thickness of my tank was surprisingly thick to be honest I only just about got the flange in and then tightened up so maybe the thinner tank would be better

[Scrimble]

that tank looks nice and secure

Its got a bungie on it ...... what you on about 

[Shrek]

I always wondered what bungee cords are for!!

[Oliver James]

What did you use to seal the flange?

[Stephen burton]

I just used the washer I got with the immersion heater and some good sealant it was such a tight fit I didn’t need much to prevent a leak

looks good
