the system is fed from a roof space tank. then down to a hot water cylinder which is heated by electricity and a woodfire(wetback)
the cold water supply at the taps is ok, the hot water supply has a tempering valve, will this reduce the flow rate? would it help to increase the temperature at this valve?. Would it help to empty
the supply and hot water cylinder to clear any obstructions in them or the interconnectig pipes, which are 20mm copper?
