Tenerife Forum members, what do you think the problem is with my boiler?

[Daverock]

The hot water is coming out of all taps with just a trickle. I checked and the cold water pressure is fine. What do you think the problem is?

[cinnamon]

is it an electrical or a butano one?

[Daverock]

Electric. The red light was on before so it was heating up but hardly any pressure from it.

[cinnamon]

just wanted to ask my brother in law, he is the electrician here, but he seems to be out. if you can wait till tomorrow, he could come back to you, just send cornflake girl a pm....( they live around the corner from you anyway)

[Daverock]

It's not too urgent. I don't smell too bad. Yet

Dave, I haven't got a clue what is wrong but the same thing happened to mine last week, cold water pressure fine but to have a shower was a nightmare. Next day everything was fine

[cinnamon]

well, a nice cold shower can have a lovely thrill now and then

[Daverock]

I'll see if it sorts itself then. Thanks.

When moving in I had the same problem, but it was simply build-up of calc. Easily fixed with DH9.

Whilst sorting this, I noticed the boiler has a pressure restricting valve on the intake, inside the boiler cover - could yours have gone wrong?

[Daverock]

I'll leave it overnight and see how it is tomorrow.
