i have a glowworm capricorn 240/6 back boiler and when the boiler stat is just off minimum my rads are hot 21c but my water is very hot.when its cold i turn up the stat(a third of the way round) as i have no room stat and the rads get hotter.but the water feels scolding.i am awaiting a zone valve to be fitted to my system but was hoping someone could tell me if it is normal to get so hot and is it dangerous.your thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

What's a zone valve going to do to help an otherwise uncontrolled combi?

I'll leave now.
hello again the zone valve is to be fitted so i can control my water temp but like last week when it was very cold i needed to turn up my heating hence the water temp rose and is too hot to touch.i was wondering if this was normal and if not am i doing any harm to the system
The zone valve combined with a cylinder stat and linked to the boiler will solve the problem. In the meantime the excessive temperature of HW will cause some scaling of valves and pipework, and could be dangerous to users (children and elderly especially).
