I want to install an electrically heated towel rail in the bathroom -
running it from the CH is not practical.

I would like to use a Terma thermostatic element like

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ABGFEX6

because it gives more control over my Electricity Bill.

But the better half also wants me to fit a 24 hour timer so it can pre-
heat in the mornings.

see http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0066NEBO6

If I fit the timer, then the Terma will keep being switched off & on.
I imagine that this means it will forget any settings.

Would it be better to just fit a 'dumb' thermostatic element?

I'm not the first to do this, so I'd like to hear what others have done
& how well it worked out.


This looks identical to a TERMA unit that I use in a heated towel rail.
Controlled by Sangamo time switch. It heats in the morning and evening. It
remembers all settings.
HTH,
Nick.

Thanks Nick.

I read all through the technical stuff I could find on the Terma website
& they didn't mention that fact that the memory is no-volatile - very
strange since most firms want to hit you over the head with all the good
stuff about their products.
