Hello, I have an Ariston Genus 30 combi boiler 8 years old. We have had a problem for a few months with the hot water not constant when taking a shower. ( hot then going gradually to cold whilst we have to dodge in and out of the flow Brrrrr! ) I thought it was only happening to the shower...

Thanks to all of you. I don't know what I'd do without you guys' know -how. So much great advice on this site. Jean B (aka Blod )
