Good evening,
I am trying to help an elderly neighbour.
The hot water from their taps seems way too hot. I have checked the temperature setting on their hot water cylinder thernmostat and it is set to 50 degrees which is almost the coolest setting. If I turn the thermostat clockwise I hear it click around d 70 degrees. Does this mean that the water temperature in the tank is around 70 degrees?
If that is the case, then can I assume that the thermostat needs replacing as it is allowing the water to get to 70 degrees and not cut off at the set temperature of 50 degrees?
Many thanks.
