Hi all,
I had a new boiler installed on Thursday, a Worcester Bosch / Greenstar 30i compact
All works well, heating is great... except our shower (which sits above the bath), which is sometimes OK (never really hot), sometimes hot/cold intermittently, and sometimes cold.
On the front panel you can see when a tap is calling for hot water - and the shower does not always trigger this. I turned the eco setting off and this did appear to somewhat make the boiler more sensitive and to fire up more easily when the shower was run.
We've not got great water pressure in the house but the previous boiler would fire even if taps were ran slowly. And the cold runs fast enough. We've descaled the shower head and the flow rate is, to me, decent.
Anybody got any thoughts - I want to do a bit of research before British Gas try to fob me off by saying it's an issue with our water pressure.
FWIW I don't recall the installer checking the pressure upstairs pre-installation. And it's no different now than it was with our much maligned previous bioler (a 10 year old ideal). Ironically I could have just insisted they fix the old one, they had heat exchanger, diverter valve and pump ready to fit them all. But it was breaking down every 6 months and just becoming a big headache.
Thanks all
