Taps hot but showers lukewarm, combi bolier
Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 3.00 PM
I have a Worcester 25CDi combi boiler. All good until the big freeze a few weeks back now my taps and radiators are hot but both my upstairs and downstairs showers are lukewarm. Any ideas? Many thanks for any direction.

Hello hope this may help.
If you Run water from taps throughout your home to see if the problem is affecting your other water sources. If the taps give you a small amount of hot water before the temperature drops, you may have a broken or deteriorating dip tube. However, the blame can likely be directed to your shower system if you’re receiving consistent hot water from your taps. If you need assistance ASAP don’t hesitate to contact us.

Some thermostatic showers needs at least 55 degrees Celsius to operate properly check the hot water temperature

Could possibly be the extreme cold weather affecting the temperature of incoming main to the boiler, and in turn affects the temperature rise of the hot water output. Also the Worcester cod do not have dip tubes.
