Bit of background first. I attended a Powermax 140 boiler yesterday producing only warmish water and fixed it with a new blender valve. I set the new valve to deliver hot water at 52 degrees C.
On testing the two Aqualisa Quartz showers my customer found they still didn't run as hot as they used to long ago when first installed, and before the boiler fault developed. They are out of warranty.
Some testing reveals that although the boiler is delivering water at 52 degrees C to the mixers, but both mixers are only able to supply mixed water to the shower heads at 41 degrees C when set to max temp on the shower control. Is this normal behaviour? Both showers are refusing to go higher than 41 degrees C despite them having hot water supplied at 52 degrees C. Customer says the shower temp used to go higher than this, and would like to have a really hot shower above 41 degrees C once again.
Is this a fault or normal behaviour please? Can the max temp be adjusted inside the box?

Many thanks,
