Seen these things in B&Q that are like an immersion heater (I presume)
that screw into the bottom of a regular CH towel rail.

Are they very good and where might I get one? (Can't seem to see them
for sale in B&Q, just on a display model)
TIA


We had a water towel radiator in cloak room for years that was never plumbed
up due to a solid concrete floor and difficulty running pipes to it.

When we redecorated, and wanted to keep the towel rail I got one of these
elements (60w) and linked the flow and return together with some chrome 15mm
pipe, through the T-shaped bit with the element in such that it would
thermo-syphon abit, and filled it 90% full of water and antifreeze (80/20),
heated it up with the vent screw slack then sealed it.

Been switched on now for 9 months and no problems at all.
