Hello all,

We have just moved into our new place and it is all electric running a economy 7 set up.

I have done some looking and it seems I want my off peak switch always on and keep the on peak switch off. My confusion is nothing is marked.

I have attached photos of the water heater with the only switch I can see turned on. This looks like it’s the off peak as it’s coming from the bottom of the tank? Located in the bedroom closet.

The only other switch is next to the economy 7 controller box which is currently off located in the kitchen. The box is on but it is just dim lighting so the display looks off.

Apologies for the long post I just want to make sure it’s all sitting as it should as I have never used this system before and I would hate to start paying crazy money especially at the moment.
