That's odd... Where's your boiler and do the bath taps get hot eventually?

try turning the bath tap down, when my bath was put in the hot tap was run with 22 mm pipe and the flow through the boiler was to much for it.

just looked at the boiler and its saying 1.1 bar if that means anything to you lol.

Is 1.1 bar on the low side? Mine ran at 1.5.

i was going to say what hoots said, i have to turn my bath tap right down to get it piping hot. On full flow its nearly cold.

What type of heating do you have, ie tank or combi?
