Immersion question

    Hi All,

    Bath and sink immersion. Just got a new app to measure power used in watts. On sink mode immersion draws approx 2700 Watts. On bath mode approx 1900 Watts.

    Is this normal? I thought the bigger element would draw more Watts?

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks

    It's very likely that the switch is wired the wrong way (a lot of them are)

    It's an easy fix that should only take a few minutes (or just relabel the switch;))

    Aha! That’s makes perfect sense. Thank you Brightspark.

    Yes switch re-label is a good solution there.
