ISAR HE24 boiler, pathetic showers are killing me!

dan3000 · 15 Mar 2015

Hi I have an ISAR HE24 combi boiler approx 4 years old, hot water varies in temperature depending on speed, so if i want a hot shower its a dribble, any enjoyable power and it gets cold..... takes a looong time to fill a bath too!

Any advice on things to check? Theres a pressure gauge with red taps available to adjust and the dials for water temp have been turned up.
I'm remodelling the bathroom soon and thinking of going for an electric shower for this reason. Thanks

These things are all relative.

9 litres per minute is what that is designed to provide at a usable temperature.

Even a 24kw boiler should give you a decent shower, run the shower and see if the 22mm pipes under the boiler start to heat up.

An electric shower is a good idea for when the Isar breaks down (not if).

I ran the shower and the pipe on the far left got red hot and the two next to that one warmish. I'm not sure about flow rates only that i can't have a reasonable shower!
thanks for the responses

Your diverter valve is passing, get it sorted and you will have a decent shower.
