Backboiler Settings

slenderkitten

Hi i moved into a flat which has a back boiler, it seems the water tank is covered up, bricks or partition i cannot get access to it there is no door. the water is SCOLDING hot, is there anyway of turning the heat of the water down. I am not so familiar with this type of system.

Is there not a basic thermostat or a control knob on the front the boiler to allow you to change settings?

A back boiler suggests it is behind a gas fire. Sometimes the controls are behind a door below the gas fire. These doors generally drop down to reveal the controls.

A"scolding" boiler hey?

Nothing worse than a boiler that tells you off when you're simply trying to wash your dishes or take a shower. I hope you've given it a good tongue lashing back!
