From necessity………..to solution
Economy – Safety – Reliability
We live in the age of automation and “smart” applications.
To control the operation of the electric water heater, it is often used… timers.
The My Switch Supervisor It was born out of a simple but crucial realization.
As the energy crisis intensifies and the cost of electricity increases, many users and professionals are looking for ways to reduce the consumption of electric water heaters. Common practices include the use of timers, aimed at limiting operating time.
However, timers rely exclusively on the duration of operation and not on the heating result.
Early interruption of operation may lead to: unstable operation of the water heater practical cancellation of the thermostat setting lack of predictability in the outcome, as well as operating conditions which, according to good practice principles, may favor the growth of microorganisms, such as the Legionella bacterium
Furthermore, when using a timer, there is no confirmation of the actual result of the command. When an activation command is given, the user does not know whether the water heater has operated correctly or whether there is a problem in the electrical circuit, such as: burnt heating element thermostat malfunction trip of the thermal cut-out, a common occurrence in solar water heaters
The proper operation of the water heater is particularly important, as it is directly linked to: * energy consumption * installation safety * and the correct operational practice of hot water systems The need for a solution that provides: monitoring of actual operation energy savings, and predictable heating results, taking into account the principles of hygienically proper operation of hot water systems and the limitation of undesirable microbial conditions, led us to the creation of My Switch Supervisor.
My Switch Supervisor operates differently. It does not decide how long the water heater will operate, but when the heating has been correctly completed, according to the thermostat setting.
