I am confused as to what settings to put hot water on. My tank in the bathroom has a thermostat dial which I am presuming is the temperature of the water but the boiler itself has a dial on it from 0-6 and I dont know what this is for. I tend to put it on 3 but havent a clue so would be grateful if someone could enlighten me

The thermstat on the boiler controls the temperature of the water in the radiators and also in the coil that heats up the water in your cylinder.
It's generally best to set the boiler stat higher than you've got it, say to 4 or 5 so the boiler will not cycle on and off as much and the water will reach temperature in a shorter time period thus allowing the boiler to shut down and save energy.0 -
I'd say setting 3 was around 60 deg C, which is good energy management.0
