My hot water seems far too hot 🥵

[Murdoch]

Not sure if it’s worth mentioning, but I can put my dhw on timer, comes on approx 6am, goes off at 7:45am, will probably last until early to mid afternoon (nobody using it much then). During this timed period, I’ll hear the boiler fire up at least 3 times, is that normal?

how many people in your house? Showers or baths?

using the timer should mean the HW is only heated when the timer tells it to - so if it’s doing HW when the timer is “off” then I’d say you’ve got a wiring issue

4 (2 adults and 2 children), showers are teatime ish, baths are one every other day for the kids. I don’t think it’s heating it outside of these times, it was more for clarity of how long the hot water lasts. Thanks.

Screen just shows time taken to heat from cold (65 mins). cylinder heating times programmed (twice/day) from solar controller.
Two people normally, 3/4, occasional weekends, bath "never" used.
