Water meter changed today but now no hot water??

[money_penny]

Hi, I've had a few problems with my boiler and hot water before but got them sorted and all was working well.
Today however, the water board fitted a new water meter externally, and when I have come to run a bath there was initial spluttering of the hot water (a brown colour) then ice cold water. I now have no hot water whatsoever. The boiler doesn't seem to "kick in as it normally would" when the hot tap is turned on.

Is this simply a coincidence or would it have anything to do with the water meter fitting today??

What boiler is it?

If you got some brown crud out of the tap, there could be some got stuck in the DHW flow switch etc.

I go out to repairs for anglian water board after they fit meters. sounds like the inlet filter is blocked on the diverter valve the repairs are covered by the water board, give them a ring

Anglian customers are lucky.

I know a Thames customer who was getting about 1 CC of sand every 10 minutes from the cold supply after the street mains were renewed.!

Thames refused to help and he had to have a £3000 new service pipe from the street.

Unfortunately he was an Asian fellow and was ( unusually ) not very argumentative and would not take them to Court. They took advantage of him.
