How do I operate Santon Premier Plus Unvented Hot Water System, model PP170E? I recently moved into this rented, all electric, 2 bedroom flat. I am spending more than £10 per day at the moment, which is simply unaffordable. There are two switches - cables connected to the a thermostat housing, one on top (i think this is called booster), and one to the thermostat housing in the lower half. Both the switches are in the on position. The one connected to the booster element also has a small panel in it for the fuse. The thermostat both have a scale of 1 to 5, and in both cases they are set just less than 4.
We are a family of 3. We generally need hot water in the morning for showers, and a quick one in the night. If so, can I simply switch off boilers through the day, and switch them on an hour or so before the showers? Would that help, or would it cost as much because water would have to be heated from cold every time we switch it on? Or is there something wrong with the boiler causing high bills? I don’t see any leaks, or any obvious issues.
Am a complete noob and do not understand anything about boilers. I have scoured the manual, but don’t see any explanation of how the booster works, and if there is an optimal way to use it.
