Re: Lukewarm Hot Water - Hole in HWC Coil or Faulty 3 Way Valve?

Diy3r, I had a similar problem, if that's any help. I see you've checked the water level, in the F&E. So that's OK (sometimes they run dry is the ballcock sticks). If this is the cause, the simple way I solved a similar problem was racking up the thermostat for a short while. Basically some heat...

Cold Radiators in Flat Using Open Vented Back Boiler System

Thanks for the posting Bob, I ran the boiler last nite for an hour with all the radiators turned off - that made the DHW pipe going into the hot water tank hot, and whilst the hot tap water was slightly warmer it was still only lukewarm. Opened up the rads again - rads working fine for about 2 hours...
