Just a quick question really before I go speaking to my plumber...
I’ve noticed since the install (about 6 weeks ago) that the water temperature indicated on the controller never gets to the 60 degree target and usually is to be found around the 45 degree point, dropping down to 15 or so when we’ve used a fair bit of water from the tank (210l unvented).
I was starting to get a little concerned and looked into it some more today. The water temperature at the tap is 60 degrees (handheld IR thermometer). So that’s a good thing. But the controller is reporting 40 degrees and has been doing so for the past hour, despite the HW demand being 100%.
My only thought is the sensor must not be contacting the tank correctly, but are there other possibilities? And is the sensor easy enough to have a look at / adjust without calling out the installer? I’m not familiar with unvented tanks so it’s all a bit new to me
