Cylinder Temperature Control

    We recently replaced the copper cylinder with the insulated cylinder, though we find that temperature for hot water is not as hot as is used to be when we heat it up with the gas boiler.
    Is that a way to increase the temperature instead of calling the plumber in again?

    many thanks

    First check the themostat on the gas boiler to see if is set too low.
    If that is ok go to the round red handle valve on the bottom left of the cylinder and turn it 1/2 a rotation anti-clockwise.
    Let us know if either of these worked.

    Thank you K.Flyer and Billy Bunting for your help!
