Calling All Plumbers.

Zoomup

I was recently called to an immersion heater problem. The top entry 27 inch immersion heater was installed in a new copper cylinder that was much higher than the immersion heater length. I reckon that a 36 inch immersion heater could have been installed. What was the logic of installing a new copper cylinder where the bottom quarter of cylinder water will never be heated?

    More info please? If the immersion heater is the only means of heating the water, it seems a bit odd. I take Andy's point, but if space is an issue, then side entry is a possibility.

    If the immersion heater is just for occasional use (as when my thermocouple failed a couple of weeks ago leaving me with a distinctly tepid shower) it doesn't matter.
