Jim Runyan What exactly is it that has an upper and lower cylinder and an upper and lower thermostat? Common enough. Switch the upper one on for a small amount of hot water. Put the other one on to heat a tankful for the bath. -- My posts are my copyright and if @diy_forums or Home Owners' Hub wish to copy them they can pay me £1 a message.

Why are you so terse and failing to give proper details? Come to that why are you using homeownershub when you could get direct contact with sensible people via uk.d-i-y?
Has the system ever worked correctly? Are you using an unvented cylinder that has been incorrectly piped up? Is your stop tap fully open? If you have a vented hot water cylinder is there a venturi shower feed in the house? |

The OP appears to be saying that flushing the dunny did see some hot water available from normal hot water taps, not that the dunny flushed with hot water. |
