Hi,
I recently moved into a new house which has a Worcester 240 Combi-boiler installed (the kind with a programmer panel at the front).
There are a couple of issues we're having when it comes to hot water.
Firstly - we're only able to get hot water (at the sinks in upstairs bathroom, downstairs kitchen and downstairs shower room sink) when the hot water is fully open - resulting in the person in front of the sink, as well as the floor and anything in a 2 metre radius, getting soaked. We don't expect the boiler to fire at a trickle but is there any way of getting the boiler to fire / flow hot water at a more moderate request at the taps?
Secondly - there is a small shower room downstairs, the pressure of hot water out of the shower (Galaxy Aqua 3000) is quite low - the water comes out the head and droops away! As soon as you turn it to cold you get a proper full on shower. Ideally we'd like to get more oomph from the shower at the hotter temp. At the moment it is set to the very hottest setting (which in itself isn't all that hot).
For information the radiators all seem to work fine, although we have got them set to 'off' as we don't really need them yet.
Any help / advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
