What size is the immersion backup heater in the Thermo Store cylinder?
The Thermo Store cylinder uses a 1.5 kW backup electric heater. By using a solar collector and using the Thermo Store factory insulated cylinder we are reducing the amount of electricity we need to use. Your electric heating requirements will be reduced by the addition of solar heat and increased levels of cylinder insulation, so a larger immersion is unnecessary. It is important to note that both the DBSi or DBSn controllers are rated to switch 2 kW. Please consult your electrician if the DBSi or DBSn controllers are to be used with other immersion heaters.
