FAQs

Is this switch waterproof?

No, the S1391WH is not waterproof. It is intended for indoor use in dry environments.

Can I use this for an electric shower?

No, electric showers typically require a higher amperage rating (usually 45A or higher) and should not be used with a 20A switch.

Does it come with a mounting box?

The switch is a faceplate unit; a standard electrical back box must be purchased separately if one is not already installed.

Is it easy to install for a DIYer?

Electrical installations should be carried out by a competent person. If you are not confident with wiring, please consult a qualified electrician.

What is the benefit of a double pole switch?

A double pole switch disconnects both the live and neutral wires, which is safer and considered best practice for immersion heaters.

Troubleshooting

Neon indicator fails to light up

Verify that the circuit breaker is on and use a multimeter to ensure power is reaching the switch terminals.

Switch feels loose or does not snap into position

Check the mounting screws for tightness and ensure no debris is obstructing the rocker mechanism.

Visible signs of discoloration around terminals

Turn off power immediately and have a qualified electrician inspect for loose connections or high-resistance heating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Clear 'Water Heater' labeling improves safety and prevents confusion
  • Neon indicator provides instant status recognition
  • Double pole design ensures full electrical isolation
  • Slimline profile offers a modern, low-profile look
  • High 20A rating is suitable for most immersion heater applications

Cons

  • Requires professional electrical installation
  • Surface mounting may require a separate back box
  • Not suitable for outdoor or high-moisture areas without appropriate housing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This switch is designed for standard flush or surface mounting depending on the back box depth. Ensure that the circuit is fully de-energized before beginning installation. Use appropriately rated cabling for a 20A circuit to prevent overheating. Maintenance is minimal; however, you should periodically inspect the faceplate for any signs of heat discoloration or damage. Clean the switch using a dry, lint-free cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which may damage the finish or the indicator lens. If the neon light fails, the unit should be inspected by a professional to ensure the internal connections remain secure.
