Just for your information this thread and another one that it links to outlines how water is usually heated in a cylinder using either the immersion or the central heating:I've recently moved into a (brand) new apartment. I'm finding that the water is taking a long time to heat up. There is an immersion and also gas central heating and the problem is the same no matter which I use.
With the immersion, there is no bath/sink button just one button to turn it on.
I doubt it. Don't go messing with them if you don't understand what you're doing anyway.There are an awful lot of taps going to and from the tank so i'm wondering do they need to be tweaked. Does anyone know anything about this sort of thing??
Worth checking but this only applies to immersion heating of the water. The original poster suggests that the water is taking a long time to heat whether the immersion or the central heating (which heats the water via a coil in the tank as per the thread I linked to above - and not via the immersion element) is used. Changing the immersion thermostat will not solve the problem of heating the water via central heating as far as I know.It may be that the thermostat is set incorrectly on the immersion unit. On the immersion on the cylinder there is an light metal cap. from what I can remember this can be removed by a single screw. Then as far as I know there is a dial underneath to set the temperature, this should be set to 65-70 celsius
Are you sure that's for water/water heating? I've seen posts on other forums where people talk about a secondary mini cylinder which turns out to be something else altogether.In my parents house they have a mini cylinder along side the main one.
