    I need a hot water tank thermostat for hotter than normal temperatures

    I always want the solar power into the longest element. I do have it wired so that it can be switched to the normal mains supply though and the tank is indirect so boiler can heat it as well. I have built all this myself and have a computer running the whole house. The thermostat on/in the tank...

    No I'm afraid not. I have a device that can switch up to 2 devices but it's not easy and I haven't got anything that I could switch it too. If I ever get an electric Car I 'd definitely do that.

    Yes cylinder is a Bit small. I am looking at the Cotherm TSDH0701 It's a dual element with rod stat pocket Boiler stat has been tried at several positions but is a third from the bottom at the moment thanks

    Basically it's an immersion heater power from solar panels. I think I have used the EPH thermostat before! It looks very similar . It always turned off at a lower temp though. Maybe I was just unlucky . thanks

    I need a hot water tank thermostat for hotter than normal temperatures

    I have a need for for a thermostat for a copper cylinder connected to solar power so I'm looking for an accurate thermostat which will allow me to store water at up to 90c ? I have tried a bog standard Honeywell and a couple of cheaper stats but none of them even work up to the advertised 80c...

    Yes my old one is full of muck, new one looks good, hope to get it in today! I'd rather ll my cold water was mains I might do this as I can route the tank supply mains round to the taps outlet from the tank and do away with it.

    Thanks for that link I think I knew most things but I was surprised that I should not use any jointing compound as I do usually use a bit of 'Tru-Blu' thread sealant on most fittings just to be on the safe side. I won't now obviously!

    Thank for your advice much appreciated. a round tank wouldn't fit I think. I have ordered all new fittings and The tank comes with a kit with new ball valve etc.

    I've ordered one from screwfix now. It just squeezes through the loft hatch I hope, It's a bit longer than the old one but again I think I can get it in by moving the C/H header tank. Thanks
