    5.1 O's and need to hit average of 3.5 O's for May
    Speaking of iBoost - my immersion is only at the outlet ie., at the top of the hot water cylinder and heats only the top part. The max diverted power is around 6ish.

    My iboost only diverted 3.5kWh today. Still not hot enough for me but the thermostat is set at 70 degrees. Need to get it hotter.
