    Hot water at half temperature. What's wrong?

    You are a complete star. :wink: I tried the mixer shower and thought you might be right because although i was only getting luke warm water out of it, the hot pipe into the shower was plenty hot. So i left the shower running and turned on the hot tap in the sink. The hot pipe to the shower...
