Hi,
My hot water is getting very (scalding) hot even though the hot water cylinder thermostat is set at 55-60 degrees.
If i feel the cylinder where the thermstat is placed (about a third of the way up) the cylinder is warm/hot (I guess about 55-60 degrees).
However, if i feel the cylinder at the top, it is red hot. (This is the temperature it is coming out of the taps at).
Can Hot Water cylinders break down over time or is there another explanation for this?
Thanks for your help.
