Hi… I have an old Vaillant Ecomax 824/2e that is making some very hot water!
The water temp gauge is set to 50 degrees Celsius (on the lcd display on the boiler - the dial is about half way between coldest and hottest).
However, when I turn on the top tap fully, the reading on the same gauge jumps up to 70-80 degrees… and it is hot!
The flow from cold water tap is about 10l/min
The flow from hot water tap is about 7.5l/min
The water inlet valve to the combo is fully open and the mains water tap is fully open too. I am in a hard water area.
Does anyone know what could be causing the problem and if there is anything I can do?
Thanks a lot!
