This is our current heating timer.
It controls an oil fired Stanley cooker, you set the on/off times using red/blue pins, most have got lost and the clock runs slow so I need to fit a new one.
The switch on the left is self explanatory, the right switch basically switches the central heating pump on & off via a pipe thermostat on the output pipe of the boiler.
The hot water is a gravity fed system.
Can you still get this type of switch with one timer & a pump switch? All I can find are 2 channel switches with timers for both the hot water & the heating.
My local plumbers merchant has gave me one of these to try.

I think it might work, the wiring may take some sorting out, but I would prefer a simpler switch like the old one.
BTW it has to be a mechanical timer, my elderly parents couldn't cope with a digital one!
