Hey any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
It's a Combi 28i Potterton.
The problem has not just suddenly occurred, it was initially fine when installed. It started doing this about a year ago then got worse, and now in the past two months has gotten even worse.
It does it with the central heating is off or on. No changes have been made to the system.
Central heating is fine.
Taps.
If the tap is not open at least 70% no hot water will come out.
Sometimes You cannot get hot water and have to run the tap in the bathroom to get hot water out of the other taps in the house.
Shower
You have to run the bathroom tap first.
Putting the shower on (its a simple mixer not thermostatic) will not result in hot water.
The mixer must be on FULL hot. The water is boiling, trying to reduce the heat just slightly will result in the water going ice cold.
If you put the mixer back to full hot it still won't give you hot water. You then have to run the tap again for 30secs to 2mins.
Boiler is 2-3years old.
ANY advice.help appreciated.
Thanks
