User Instructions
WHAT IS THE POWER SAVER DUAL FLEXI?
- The Powersaver Dual Flexi is a water heater controller that combines ease of use with the efficient control of your water tank during off peak rate electricity periods to provide hot water when required.
- This product differs from a simple time switch as it has programs built in that match with Economy 7, Economy 10 and Eco 20:20 electricity tariffs. This ensures your tank operates during off peak times avoiding expensive peak use.
- As such this controller is not freely programmable, you can minimise the program times within your off peak period but not go outwith it,
- You may need to contact your electricity supplier to confirm which tariff you are on and your specific off peak times before the product can be installed.
- Should more hot water be required then pressing the ‘BOOST’ button will switch on the boost immersion element for 1 or 2 hours to heat up part of the tank.
- Where extra hot water will be required every day at the same time a Boost program of up to 2 hours can be entered. Again this will operate the boost immersion element to heat up part of the tank.c
Controls
On/Off Switch: In the OFF position the electrical supply to the water tank immersion heater is disconnected even though the display continues to operate. In the TIMED position all programs and functions
are active.
Backlit Display: The display is temporarily backlit for 15 seconds when mains power is supplied or if any button is pressed. This is useful where a product is installed in cupboards or dark environments.
