hello
I am new to plumbing, know nothing, but have got a problem...
We moved into this property (rented) few months ago, and everything seemed to be fine with our boiler until recently. Before we launched CH, our HW had been brilliant, set on 55C and always perfectly working. But since we've started using CH some problems developed. Somehow, despite no changes to the HW temperature on the boiler, we're unable to achieve 55C. I understand that the weather (temperature) outside has also lowered, but I thought that we should be fine with our HW. CH is set on 50C on the boiler. Problem occurs especially when CH and HW are altogether on. Water is only warm. I have found out that the trouble could be CH and HW being on at the same time, then one (on this occasion CH) has got priority...
I have read on some Forum, that ''the cylinder was not heating up properly and the plate heat exchanger was returning water around 49c, which meant the Boiler kept firing and cycling, resulting in poor temp rise and lukewarm showers...'' which looks similar to mine. (http://www.*************/community/message/861916)
The system is based just outside the house, in a little shed, especially built for the boiler, a big cylinder/tank that I suppose stores water, and a smaller tank of about 10 litres capacity which is...I am not sure what for. CH seems to be running great, it is just the HW....
