Hello

If you have doubts about your instrument, connect a 220v electric clock in parallel on the elements record the time that has worked in a day (the elements always draw the same amperage) that will give you an idea how long it has been working , calculate the kw ..

On my heat pump I install a hour meter on the compressor

Hello,
I have an incredible backache ...
Sleeping left arm ....
But I had so much help that I still answer you
Good: the measuring device is ok :?
Yesterday, make sure that the electric boiler is at T ° max before taking my bath.
The solar boiler was at 65 °
After my bath, I put the electric boiler back on directly and I check how many kwh it has puffed to return to its max temperature .... answer ... 1100 watt h ....
When the electric boiler arrived at T °, ​​I reset the wattmeter to zero, and I no longer consumed hot water for 24 hours ...
This bastard eats me 3kwh just to compensate for the losses by insulation of the boiler : Shock:
So there is a famous problem !!!!

3 kwh per day * 365 = 1000 kwh per year just to compensate for losses ????
I'm starting to understand why my electric bill was so high ...
as there is no sun every day, to preheat my electric boiler, I have to arrive easily at 5.5kwh per day to take a bath per day,
So my daily bath costs me 2000 kwh per year despite a solar collector which preheats the water 6 months per year.
To the 2000 kWh, the power consumed by the solar collector circulator must be added ... :?
I'm bad there !!!

Well do like me: wash you more : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen:

Good without laughing: a bath per day is not very economical, and if you went to showers + 1 bath per week?

I expected this answer:
But I have too much rain water ... I usually live alone ...
And normally, with a solar collector, I had to consume little energy ...
That's why I had no remorse for taking this bath.
Anyway, without taking a bath, I notice that my boiler is eating at least 3kwh per day in losses ... (thermal bridge? Thermal insulation of the envelope? Thermosiphon? Electrical loss? I will check when my back will be repaired.

Uh silly question: you checked the state of resistance?

Yes, a year ago, and there was not a gram of limestone.

Can you reverify it?

Do you shower in rainwater?
How is it filtered?

these nuclear electrical resistors work in all or nothing anyway, the power is delivered suddenly, like the radiators or other nuclear widgets ...

for those who do not have electric heating, the hot water tank costs 3/4 of the electric bill ...

For the moment, I am disabled :?
No way to move, even typing on a keyboard is a feat.
My rainwater is almost not filtered ... a small filter before the water pump
