Hot Water Too Hot
A nice simple job for a change, the customer was complaining that their hot water was too hot when coming out of the taps. My first port of call was the Danfoss Randall hot water cylinder thermostat, which was set to 70 degrees celsius. It is quite common for these to get knocked and set to the wrong temperature as the temperature dial is quite exposed. I reduced the temperature that the cylinder thermostat was set to and recommended that the customer takes more care to avoid knocking it in the future.

Mine starts at 100 presume it must be a Fahrenheit thermostat ?

A typical cylinder thermostat will have a range of 40-90 degrees celsius. The same range is 104-194 in Fahrenheit.
DeleteThe recommended setting of 60-65C would be equal to 140-150F. However, it may be worth replacing to ensure accuracy as it must be some years old now?
Cheers :)
