Any gotchas/clues as to why our domestic hot water is no longer hot. Barely tepid?
For various reasons Spindrift has had a long time out of the water; So work included replacing the perished clarifier feed hoses, changed the engine coolant as well as replacing the taps.
The taps work as in water comes out when hot is selected.
Engine has been run multiple times for around 30mins each, and there is no hot water. I have topped up the coolant a few times since replacement.
The engine feed hoses get vhot to the touch (both feed and supply) at the clarifier end, which suggests there is enough coolant and no airlock.
Their is a mangy old thermostatic valve on what i assume is the engine feed side.
I am pretty sure before (it was a while ago) even a short motor would produce piping hot water.
Any thoughts / things to check?
thanks!
