Got a Glow-worm HXI gravity fed.

Largish 3 bed house detatched. Tank stat is set at 60 degrees.

What temperature should the boiler be set at?

The boiler should be on 70C to prevent the tank stat constantly
calling for heat, depending on your houses insulation levels and
radiator sizes, you may find that that boiler stat needs to be turned
up to maximum in order to reach the temperature on the room stat in
very cold weather.

I am not 100% sure but I was told that you can lower the tank stat to
55C and set the boiler at 65C; it is more efficient.

Must be minimum of 60C for legionella prevention. ACV recommend 65C and
supply a blending valve to lower temperatures at the taps.
