Suggestions please. I have an puzzling problem.
I switched off hot water and CH in Summer. Baxi boiler.
After a short period of turning hot watertap on the water was scalding.
Assuming hot water coming from hot water tank?
I switched on hot water and CH but hot water is still scalding and radiators very hot. I'm assuming immersion heater is faulty?
Timer working fine and thermostat in hallway working. It has been suggested that I need to power clean the CH system, but had this done 3 years ago. I have a magnotherm filter which was cleaned and boiler serviced in January this year.
A plumber said it was a sticking valve and released it. Also placed a new thermostat around boiler and set to 50c. But no change.
On the pipes outside boiler I have two valves, one for hot water the other for CH.
What other information do you need please?
I'm calling the boiler engineers back.
