i have an ideal mini condensing boiler, it has a 7 day multi function internal time clock fitted, its a right pain in the ass to set and needs setting everytime the leccy trip's

 

ive been trying to find a simple 24 hour mechanical external time clock for it but no one seems to be able to find me one

 

the ideal one would be the same as you get as an internal time clock in a baxi boiler, they look very similar to the plug in timers you get from diy stores where you just push the pins down when you want the boiler to come on

 

does anyone know if i can fit an external time clock? or even where to get one?

this is what im after, but will it work on a combi, i know it says boiler but a combi needs to be live all the time for the hot water to work

To be honest, your better going to the plumb shop asking which one you need then looking it up on fleebay

ive been mate, i used to be a plumber many moons ago, but ive never fitted a uni mech time clock before, nor seen one

 

plumber merchants round here are usless as they are just numptys serving lol

Can understand that lol

Hi,

Would something like these suit your requirements?

The link for the ebay one, looks like it should work fine, as you would only wire the timer clock up to the central heating part of your boilers terminal block

hmmm, will look into those today

 

cheers
