Evening gents
I have been unfortunate enough to pick up a job from where a builder has scarpered when he couldn't get any of the plumbing to work. I thought I had it all licked but today the customer has come back to me telling me that the new thermostatic mixer bar is only coming out lukewarm
This customer is really strange they insist on having their Combi boiler set to about 35° On DHW Their reasoning behind this is that when they run a bath or a basin they only need to open up the hot side and not use the cold I have told them it won't make a blind bit of difference to their water consumption but they won't have it. Anyway that is by the by, they only have the one thermostatic mixer outlet and that is this new shower would my suggestion be correct that if the water is only coming through at 35° That an amount of cold water will still mix within the bar making the overall temperature much lower? Or would we suggest it was just a dodgy thermostatic cartridge
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Matt
