Usually, one is to heat the top, to provide a limited amount of water for economy reasons, whilst the second heats the whole tank. Connecting them together, to a single timer, would obviously negate this option. Andy C |

You'll probably find the lower one is on the economy 7 circuit and is already timeswitched. The top one is usually only used manually if you run out of hot water. Al. |
