I have a very old potterton kingfisher floor mounted boiler running pumped ch and gravity hot water...
Regularly serviced and seems to run well. Problem is the hot water seems to be to hot.
My son was over the other day and was shocked at the temperature, so I checked it out and it was 82 deg. Boiler stat was on 3, so I turned the boiler down to 1 and checked again after a day, was now at 75.. I've since wound it down to 'min' and it's now at 72, better but still not right! Now the heating takes an age to get temp up from its hold temp to comfort.
I think this has always been the case but I realise now it's not ideal and it could lead to other issues such as failed pumps and limescaled tanks.. And I have recently fitted a aqualisa Quartz shower!!
How can I get the temp further down please?
