Hot water temperature

C.C.L.

Hi, I have a Worcester Bosch boiler. The hot water in the bathroom taps is really hot, but there's no control on the boiler, only a control for the radiator temp.
Is there anyway to reduce the temp of the hot water for the taps? TIA.

What type of boiler is it e.g. combi?

Hi...if you have a HW cylinder then minimum 60 deg C on the stat. To reduce risk of scalding fit a TMV.

But...need establish which model Worcester you have??? E.g. WB Greenstar Junior combi doesn't have separate DHW control.

Has the 1 year old boiler had the first annual service (required to maintain warranty)? Your RGI will be able to advise.

No it hasn't had a service yet. In fact it's slightly over 1 year old as it was put in last September. We got a 3 year warranty, and I did wonder if we should have had a service.
Best ring the installer and see what's happening?

Yes...call him/her up and book a service. Make sure the Benchmark is completed.

page 8...fixed to 55C. I'd try turning turning the ECO function on so its not preheating the water.

Don't think that will help vry much. It'll need an RGI look at it and thats no loss as its still under guarantee. Something ain't right with the beastie.
