Hi,

First of all I am novice..a real novice when it comes to plumbing, so please be easy on me

I hope someone can shed some light on this weird problem. I have a conventional boiler with a hot water tank in the bathroom and 2 tanks in the loft. The radiators in the house are fine, they all heat up, but the hot water is luke warm from the taps, even if I leave the boiler on for a few hours, there is no difference.. HELP, thanks.

Sounds like the tempering valve has failed or is out of adjustment.
