oh and we are 240v

No not in the same tank, im no expert but usualy water is heated by a boiler (i guess flowing in and out of the hot water tank) but you can use the electric heating element in the hot water tank too, is just more expensive . In uk all sockets are the same but cookers and hotwater tanks are wired...

Draws alot of power cos i guess its like a big kettle, and is in theory on a dedicated circuit BUT other things are put on that circuit by pro electricians. for example i have a security box spured off the hot water tank.

A hot water tank. there is an element in the bottom i to heat it. But most people just use there boiler and never switch the "immersion" bit on. my boiler is knackerd and wont heat water, so i have to use the immersion. Im in the uk so it maybe the lingo is different.

Can anyone help with my elecrical problem. Im in uk which is slightly different to north america (i think) Im going to hook up a 400w hps, 125w cfl and a tt100 fan Problem is i dont have a socket in the closet and extlead is not practical. On the left inside the closet is a fused switch...
