So my old Potterton Kingfisher... Setting 'min' is 32 degrees water temp? How do you know this? turning it up and down does adjust the temperature so I would assume that the thermostat works?

Yes it's exactly that.. Works fine apart from HW temp, shame really. I think you're right in that it needs updating to at least 'C' plan... It would be nice to have more control, and to not be heating water 24/7 at the moment could make it cheaper to run!

I see what you mean but will this not just slow the process of ultimately reaching the max temp set by the boiler stat

Okay, have checked immersion heater that is off. And yes, there is no cylinder stat on this system.. I think temperature at the cylinder is controlled by the boiler stat.. ie, the hotter the water from the boiler the hotter the water in the cylinder

I have a very old potterton kingfisher floor mounted boiler running pumped ch and gravity hot water... Regularly serviced and seems to run well. Problem is the hot water seems to be to hot. My son was over the other day and was shocked at the temperature, so I checked it out and it was 82...
