Ok, I'm not very technical but will try my best.
We've just had an old back boiler, hot & cold tanks taken out and replaced with a worcester bosch boiler - its quite a big one as we have potentially 3 showers across 3 different floors so the plumber got us one that would cope IF we needed all 3 showers on (we only really use 1 shower).
Everything is fine, heating etc. but the showers are luke warm and have to be put on their hottest setting and its still luke warm.
The bathroom taps come out really hot so don't think its just because the showers are 'higher' in the house
The pressure of the shower is a lot better than we had before, almost power shower quality.
The plumber said he could increase the temp of the water but he said a) that would increase scale (and our hot taps are spitting out white water at the mo), and b) the water is actually fine from the taps.
I have 2 theories
1) the pressure is too high - the boiler can't keep up with heating the water. What do I do if this is the case?
2) they are mixer showers (I have no idea if this is true!) and perhaps we need thermostatic showers - but from what I understand, they are used to stop FLUCTUATING temp, they don't increase the temp as such.
PLEASE HELP ME!
