Our hot water is not very hot. We have a gravity system which has been in place for a couple of years. There is a programme clock which switches both water and heating. This works. The heating works fine. The water is hand hot, I have two thermostatic valves that switch on the Hot pipe and Central heating. I turned up the thermostat that just sits on the outside of the ho****er tank. Nothing changed. So I replaced this thermostat. Nothing changed.
Any ideas welcome....... Thanks |

That's the second one turned up today from a diybanter user. Is it deliberate and meant to be funny, or do diybanter just have an overzealous smut detector? David |

I think its filters have not mastered the finer points of the use of the space character in the English language! Bet it can't handle S****horp either ;-) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Is this a fully pumped system (with a mid position valve or diverter valve for example)? Or does it rely on convection for the hot water side of things? more detail he http://www.diyfaq.org.uk/plumbing/pl...ge2.html#types -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Are these two thermostatic valves, in that they are similar to thermostatic radiator valves? Or are they electric thermostats which operate separate motorized (2-port most likely) valves? Any makers' names or product numbers on them? The stored hot water won't get any hotter than the boiler water.What setting is the boiler thermostat on? |
