Hi guys.
Im desperate for a professional advice. I have recently moved to a new flat where I have a problem with my hot water running out very quickly. The plumber boy provided by the landlady made several visits to no avail. First blaming on the scale buildup, then on a faulty thermostat but nothing have helped so far.
Problem: When I try to fill the bath with hot water ONLY. I'm able to fill 60L of hot water and then water start very quickly but gradually running cold. I have no idea how this whole setup works, but if think logically it looks like hot water cylinder is not filled in to its 144L capacity.
Possible problems from my point of view: There is either a air inside the cylinder that blocks the water intake or cold water storage too small for this setup. Ive asked him about air he says that its an open system or something and there is a vent where excess hot water and air goes out back into the cold water storage. It leaves me with the small cold storage tank.
Is there a formula to calculate and adequate cold storage tank capacity for 144L hot water cylinder? or can someone give me a rough estimate? The cold water storage is about 1.60cm high from the floor.
Current cold water storage size (actual water in the box) 39(L)x25(W)x18(H)=17550
17550/1000 =17.5L
Hot water cylinder capacity is 144L (1050x450)
there is also an electric pump that pumps the hot water, because there is not enough pressure otherwise.
any advice will be highly appreciated.
