Fitting Timer to Dual Immersion Boiler

Hi all,
I have (so it says) high efficiency megaflow boiler, in my one bed flat. Its a very small flat, yet I seem to be paying far too much for my electricity every month £100 (after negotiation!) - I use about 15-20kw per day (I have no Gas, everything is electric) and after some experimentation and taking readings I've realised its down to this boiler. I am not on any Eco7 thing.
I have a Heatrae Sadia Megaflo 170l indirect cylinder
The thing was wired in directly to the wall on two switches (one for boost the other for main) and has no timer. I have experimented with putting this on only every 2 days for one hour and its fine, there is only 2 of us and we get enough hot water.
Can anyone please recommend any boiler timers (there are no timers in my flat at all) that I could get fitted to this? I dont want anything expensive if possible, I just want this boiler to be automatically switched rather than having to remember all the time.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated.
Rob

Either of these should do, assuming you have on/off switches on a single back box.
