The bathroom water faucet is really cold but if I put the hot water on a tiny bit. The shower gets hot for a few min but turns cold without the cold water on. If I raise the temp in the boiler will that solve the issue? Rotoruter was just here to replace the washers.
My hubby is a plumber he states to get a plumber out there to do it for you cause if you don't know what your are doing you could eletricute youself or you may need you system flushed something can be clogged Good Luck
Firstly you'll be able to forget about the gauge at the entrance ofd the boiler for this drawback as it's only telling you the strain within the heating approach nonetheless it will have to be a minimum of a million bar whilst bloodless.Next is to set up the incoming running strain within the estate.I could endorse you touch yur regional water manufacturer and ghet them to do that for you and give an explanation for you look to have low water strain. Its fairly viable with an ancient estate that you've a lead deliver pipe that can simplest be three/eight bore that's inadequare to feed a combi boiler, even a million/two is for somw too small mainly in case your strain could also be iffy. An electrical bathe is not going to remedy your drawback as such a lot of them actually have a strain transfer integrated to avert scalding.You might want a better deliver pipe or a minimum of the only you've changed with considered one of todays commonplace. Most new houses have a 25mm or three/four in ancient cash deliver pipe to manage with a combi or unvented scorching water approach.
I couldn't get the pdf open but I'll try to help. Sounds like a broken dip tube. This is located where the cold water enters the boiler. Shut off the water and unscrew the cold water going into the heater (might need a pipe wrench if it's really stuck on there) when you get that pipe off put your finger in the hole and pull up that clear plastic tube. That is your dip tube. it should be solid all the way down to almost the bottom of the heater and then have holes on the end. I'm guessing this tube might be snapped so it probably won't go down all the way. If that's the case then that's your problem, it's easy to replace and cheap to buy. The way a water heater works is simple, hot water will naturally rise and cold water will naturally sink. It's just one of the natural properties of water. so your dip tube brings the cold water straight to the bottom, then it get heated and rises to the top where it enters the hot water line and your fixtures. If the dip tube is broken when your water heater calls for water (like say after a few minutes in the shower) the cold water will come in, but with no dip tube to bring it to the bottom it mixes with the hot water at the top and gets into the hot water pipe before it can sink to the bottom. This would make the water lukewarm, and since showers never use only hot water, the lukewarm water will mix with the cold water at the valve and produce water that feels almost exactly like your normal cold water source. Turning up the temperature will likely not solve your problem, I think it's gotta be the dip tube.
