The other day we discovered that we cannot get hot water from the tap anymore. It fluctuates from lukewarm to almost cold (although sometimes gets hot for a couple of seconds at the start). The radiators still get hot when the central heating is on.
This happened after we had a problem with our shower, which refused to turn off. We had someone come around and seal off the shower unit completely as a temporary fix, and then we found that we had the problem with the hot water supply later that day.
I noticed that the boiler pressure gauge was down to zero, so I re-pressurised it back to 1.5 bars, assuming this was the problem. But nothing changed. We've also tried turning the boiler off for a while, and resetting it.
Our guy doesn't think it was linked to the shower problem, so maybe that was a coincidence. Although the water was consistently piping hot up until then.
The boiler is a combi Worcester Greenstar 24i.
Any tips on whether there's anything we can try would be greatly appreciated!
