To adjust the boiler flow rate, you will need to locate the flow temperature control. This is usually a dial or knob located on the front of your boiler.
Once you have located the flow temperature control, turn it down to the desired temperature. The recommended flow temperature for most homes is 60°C.
If you have a condensing boiler, you may also need to adjust the bypass valve. This valve controls how much hot water is mixed with cooler water before it is sent to your radiators.
To adjust the bypass valve, turn it clockwise to reduce the amount of hot water that is mixed in. This will increase the flow temperature and make your radiators hotter.
It is important to note that adjusting the boiler flow rate can affect the efficiency of your boiler. If you are unsure about how to adjust the flow rate, it is best to consult a qualified plumber.
Here are some additional tips for adjusting the boiler flow rate:
- Make small adjustments to the flow temperature and bypass valve. This will help you to find the optimal setting for your home.
- Monitor your energy bills after making adjustments to the boiler flow rate. This will help you to see how the changes are affecting your energy consumption.
- If you are not happy with the results of the adjustments, you can always revert to the original settings.
Please note: It is important to consult a qualified plumber before making any adjustments to your boiler.
