I am talking about the stickying out bit, as Gerry puts it.
A timer is simply an On/Off switch controlled by a timing device. Provided it's Kw rating is higher than the water heater, as yours seems to be, there is no reason not to use a timer for this purpose. I have been doing this myself for years without a problem.Wicksey wrote: Timers by their nature are meant to be on all the time, I thought, so I didn't think there was a problem using it for a water heater.
