Hi all,
I seem to have a minor problem with my hot water. I recently had a new kitchen installed and had to drain the system (this might be coincidental). Since then, the was hot was has been a little strange... when you initially get in the shower, for example, the water comes out super hot... too hot really, and then it settles to a normal temp. Previously I never adjusted the temp mixer on the shower, got in and it was consistent from start to finish, but now I have to turn it down initially and then turn it up after 30 secs to a minute.
The system is a standard potterton boiler, a megaflow tank, and two honeywell two port motorised valves. I've checked the values and they spring back into position if I move the levers, so I'm assuming these aren't stuck. They're both operational too when the hot water or heating is used. I sat there and tested them by putting on the water, heating, and both together.
Why would this be happening with the water? The water in the tank is hot. After the initial really hot water, the temp settles and the water is lovely and hot. I just can't figure out why it initially comes out so hot, as it never used to.
Many thanks
