Hi all,

I had a bit of trouble yesterday with my heating - turned out to be a couple of small (drip) leaks & low system pressure (leaks were inside the boiler)....fixed the leaks & repressurised the system - heating is working perfectly now & pressure is staying put.

The hot water is now playing up a little - the kitchen hot tap (near to the boiler) is working perfectly with constant temperature....the 2 taps in the bathroom give a short burst of hot water (5 secs) & then go luke warm. The boiler seems to be firing normally & nothing else seems out of place....I have noticed one more small leak at the back of the boiler this morning, again this is only a drip - could this be the cause? (I will be fixing this today anyway).

I assume that all the hot water taps will be fed from the same output on the boiler so I'm a little confused about this......any help will be greatfully received.

Thanks

Tom

Small update:
Have fixed the leak that I missed before - hasn't changed anything.

I have noticed one more thing with the Bathroom taps - the temperature seems to be related to the rate of flow ie if I open the tap a small amount the temperature is hot - if I open it fully then it's luke warm.......the Kitchen tap still gives hot water regardless of rate of flow.

The hot water in the bathroom is now sometimes cloudy - white, I presume limescale......I guess this could have something to do with it - how do I get rid of it?
 
Sorry - one more observation.....the cloudy water is only coming out at a low rate of flow (very cloudy).....when the taps are fully open the water is completely clear.

Kitchen tap runs clear at any rate of flow.
