New WB boiler - with tepid 'hot' water!

[ShaunCorbs]

Turn the cylinder stat down / back to 60

On the boiler turn the left hand control up from 3 to 5

Ok, thats done.

It seems like my hot water is properly hot again! Can i turn the ch dial down again or should it remain at 5? Thank you very much for all the help

 

[ShaunCorbs]

4-5 is normally about right

surprised you didnt say the heating was slightly colder 3 is around 45dc

 

[mabazza ritchie]

We were trialling leaving the heating on all day on a lower setting vs on/off at various times etc. Still not worked it out yet although the nest seems to be good.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

sorry to say with the set up you have you cant have independent heating temperatures as that one dial does both your hot water and heating

so it needs to be around the 65dc temp

 

[mabazza ritchie]

Oh, i didn't know that. Is there something that can be done to change that?

Oh, i didn't know that. Is there something that can be done to change that?

unless you add the diverter kit and change the piping no sorry or theres anther way but will requires piping changes and more items

 

[mabazza ritchie]

Thats a pain in the backside, wasn't told that dial also controlled the hw. I was told the stat on the cylinder determines the hw temp?! What would the likely cost of a diverter kit be?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

yea sorry to say around the £200 mark just for the diverter kit ish

and then for someone to pipe the hot water cylinder direct to the boiler
