Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Is it good to have hot water on a timer or constant?

A. Leaving the hot water heater on continuously is preferable to turning it on and off intermittently. However, you don't actually need to constantly heat your water. Hot water kept in a tank heats up by your boiler or immersion heater.

Q. What is the purpose of a water heater timer?

A. A water heater timer is a device that regulates when a water heater is switched on and off. Instead of keeping hot water throughout the day, your water heater will now only give it when it is set to do so.

Q. What is the operating temperature of this Intermatic EH40 water heater timer?

A.This Intermatic EH40 water heater timer offers an operating temperature range of -40 to 104 degrees F.

Q. What is the duration of the programming cycle in this Intermatic EH40 timer?

A. This timer offers a 7-day programming cycle for tailored automation.

Q. Does this Intermatic EH40 electronic water heater timer provide an override switch?

A. Yes, an override switch enables the bypass of malfunctioning field inputs to aid in startup. This override will be automatically deactivated once the field input returns to normal or reaches a preset time limit, whichever comes first.

Q. Is it preferable to keep hot water continuously on or use a timer?

A. It's actually more efficient to avoid leaving the hot water heater running, contrary to a common energy-saving misconception. Continuously heating water isn't necessary. Immersion heaters or boilers warm up water stored in a tank, and maintaining a continuous heating cycle isn't always the most energy-efficient approach.
