Abstract

A temperature sensor apparatus for a water storage apparatus in which an amount of hot water stored can be determined by the vertical position of a hot/cold water boundary, the apparatus comprising: a plurality of temperature sensors for installation at different height levels in the water storage apparatus, and a control unit, wherein the control unit is arranged to determine sensor location, in use, based on the order in which the sensors detect a temperature change during operation of the water storage apparatus.
