Already on my third unit in 2.5 years and now it just says "water hot" all the time.
Got a new thermostat on order as it may be that but any other ideas?

    Could be open circuit immersion element. Are you able to check the voltage arriving at the immersion heater? - mine is plugged in to a 13 amp socket, so I can unplug it and connect a lamp or a heater.

    Had my immersion element fail within one month of my immersun being installed. Had it replaced for a much more durable one as my the one in my tank was designed to only be used as a back up if the gas boiler failed. No problems since.

    I also had the water hot message on the unit.

    It was the Thermostat, all up and running again.

    Glad you've sorted it. I can now joke that with the weather we've had the last couple of days 'course it's going to be HOT! Touch wood I've had mine nigh on 5 years with no problems apart from remembering how hot my hot tap can be!
