Hello,
I have an Ariston Genus 30 combi boiler 8 years old. We have had a problem for a few months with the hot water not constant when taking a shower. ( hot then going gradually to cold whilst we have to dodge in and out of the flow Brrrrr! ) I thought it was only happening to the shower but I have checked and it is the same from all taps.
I have checked the boiler and notice that when the hot water is being run the boiler fires for about 25 seconds and then goes out for about 10 seconds before firing again for 25 seconds etc. This accounts for the time we notice that the water in the shower goes hot and cold.
I may be wrong but I thought that when the hot water was being drawn the boiler should be firing all the time. The same thing is happening when the heating is on, the boiler stops and starts intermitently even though the room temperature hasn't been reached.
Any suggestions welcome please, so that I can have a nice long uninterrupted hot shower without goosebumps !!
