Hello all,
I have done a search on another posts and haven't found a similar problem to mine, (I apologies if I have overlooked a post).
Right...
I have a Worcester Bosch 240, (not sure how old), in a place I've recently moved in to. The Central Heating works fine but I have an issue with the hot water being TOO HOT.
There is no manual water control on the front panel only one that controls the central heating.
The shower unit similar to this

This shower unit cannot be used as even with the hot tap on a little and the cold on full it's still scalding. What makes matters worse I think is that the cold is being fed from a tank in the loft and the hot from the boiler. So i'm guessing that the hot flow is more powerful than the gravity fed cold.
I was thinking that increasing the flow rate on the boiler would cool the water but I'm guessing that would let even less gravity fed cold through.
The boiler does actually cut out when running the hot water which I assume it should at a certain temperature but maybe too high a temperature.
I hope this is enough information, I apologies if I'm making any wrong assumptions above.
Thanks in advance.
