Take your showers before 0700The hot water tank has two elements - the bottom one is used at night and should be switched on ; the top one is a boost and should be switched OFF.Taking your showers before 0700 won't help you if the off-peak period ends at 0630. Far better to use hot water from the tank, boosted by a pump if necessary, then you can have a cheap rate shower at any time.0 -
Isn't there a point where the savings between heating the water you think you'll need on E7 and have it sitting in the tank until you need it and heating a precise amount of water using a peak rate instant shower, disappear? Especially for low users.0
