Hi all,
Just moved into a house with a combi boiler, (28kW Baxi DuoTec, recently serviced) it's the first time I've ever owned one, always being a system boiler and cylinder guy previously. Seems to work ok, and water pressure is decent.
However, we have two showers, one is a standalone shower and is fine, stays warm etc.
The other is above a bath and is fed from the (non-thermostatic) bath mixer tap, seems to fluctuate a lot in temperature, and the water generally seems cooler than other hot water outlets in the house. For example, the boiler water temp is set to 65C, I cannot hold my hand under the hot tap in the bathroom, however I can comfortably stand under the shower in the same bathroom, even when only the hot tap is turned on.
It was such a difference that I assumed there must be one of those anti-scald devices fitted below the bath (the ones which mix cold and hot water), but there isn't.
Any advice appreciated?
Thanks!
