[QUOTE="johnb2713, post: 548812, member: 35153"] It should be ok, it can carry much more than the 12 amps or so needed for the immersion. It will depend on the quality and the rating of the switch, if it's getting warm youre wasting energy. Dont buy cheap, buy good quality, I've used some from Screwfix which have been good on a 16 amp load, no heating etc, they dont have relays inside them either, all the switch is electronic which helps reliability and efficiency Not necessary, though, if I was doing the job I would have wired it in 2.5mm2 from the start.
