I have a 18 motnh-old Bosch Worcester boiler. It works brilliantly and both heating and hot water have been in constant supply whenever needed. (no heating required at the moment of course!)
Two nights ago I noticed the water from the bath hot water tap was very hot (as usual) to begin with but very quickly turned cold - well, lukewarm at best.
This was the first time this had happened so I check the boiler and the pressure had dropped to 0. It has an integral charging link so I re-pressurised the boiler and thought all was well.
The boiler has kept it's pressure. The shower water continues to heat perfectly (it is also heated from boiler - not electric) but I still have the same problem with the taps for the bath and all sink taps including kitchen. It starts off very hot and after a few seconds turns to lukewarm water and doesn't heat up again.
I'm guessing the pre-heat feature is what's heating the water to start but why is it losing heat when the shower is still working?! Could be it be too hot and the cut-out is operating?
Any geniuses out there who could help?
Much appreciated.
