Perfect for the UK..

I need it to be perfect for Spain !😁

you need it to be 2 pin euro plug not 3 pin UK plug ? I would look for one thats 3500 0r 3600 watt 16 amp .

is your boiler on a standard plug or wired in by the plumber ? If its wired in you would need a wired in timer. If its a standard plug then go for a euro plug timer as i described thats if its a 1.5 kw heater .

It's a standard plug boiler that plugs into the wall socket. I will look for a Spanish timer as you describe.

ok yep given you mentioned in your very first comment that boiler is 2 kw it will draw a little more amps than mine around 9 amps so go for one rated 36000 watts 16 amps.

you can get them with a fancy digital clock timer or simple 24 hour circle with pins you pull out to set the time. I prefer the older fashioned simple 24 hour pin type myself. I had a digital clock type one on a boiler in the uk and could never be confident i had got my head around how to set it. So i stick with simplicity which works for me.

To be honest when I was thinking about it afterwards I am not sure whether it was 1.5Kw or 2Kw. Anyway I am thinking of getting a digital one, I usually end up breaking the pins on a manual one 😁

If you get 3600 watt 16 amp it will do for both . Horses for courses re pins or digital but I think my brain is steam driven

Mine is usually, I am a technophobe but for some reason I can work digital clocks out. It's when tradesmen start talking to me about how solar systems work that my brain ceases up ! 😂😂

well at least you have your shower sorted out and working now

Hopefully, fingers crossed.🤞

Yeah, amazing how much easier it is to just set and then monitor the analog ones with pins. The only drawback is that some of the archaic models were LOUD, but then it's not like you're going to be sleeping next to the boiler unit anyway...

If I was to go with something more modern then I'd probably skip the digital timer ones and go with one of those smart plugs like the Tipo wifi one, that I could then control via an app and even switch on and off remotely if need be.

Well perhaps then, you like me should drag yourself into the 21st century - reluctantly 😂😂

Funny enough I have just changed my plug in timer for another pin type one as the old one was quite old . The new one as you say is much quieter when switching on and off. The pin ones are great for me so simple but effective. Only downside really with them is if you have a lengthy power cut you have to remember to re set the time otherwise timings are out as timer stops when power cuts. Smart plugs seem a good idea but for my simple needs old pin timer fits the bill.
