I have one, and I find it quite difficult to get the flow right to
give optimum amount of hot water.

Would it be worth putting an in-line valve on the cold inlet to the
boiler and then adjusting it such that I could set it to the flow
which would be optimum temperature when taps turned on full? ie it
would limit the flow to a max value which would produce hottest water.

Yes this can work (although obviously you need to adjust the flow
restriction as the groud water warms up in the summer). You may find the
boiler already has a service valve on the cold inlet that you can
partially turn off.

If yes - could I adjust by trial and error or could I adjust and set
to a known litres/minute to get the optimum flow.

You could do either.


Excellent - good man, I will give it a go.
