Thanks for the explanation. :D

There is an immersion heater in there. Thanks to all who helped. I'm going to measure the water temp using an aquarium thermometer, just to rule out an incorrect perception. Not being an expert, I'm puzzled why friends have suggested a faulty motorised valve. How would that make the...
