      I would say you might have the hot and cold on the wrong sides. Normally the taps turn opposite directions for the sake of aesthetics. Normally ceramic disc taps will have a lever that turns 1/4 turn. Some might come with cross handle tap handles. This might be where the confusion is.

      This is probably because you have too much pressure in the mains supply. That can be easily fixed by getting a 500kpa pressure limiting valve installed on your water meter.

    ok you said that the dial doesn't increase the temperature of the water. So what does ??

    • @orbitplumbing
      @orbitplumbing 3 года назад

      That is slightly incorrect. The unit automatically sits at 65° to make sure bacteria can not grow. The dial actually makes the unit go a bit harder but that also increases the temperature a little bit. You would not want your water over 50° at the tap as that can become very dangerous. In Australia they need to be fitted with a tempering valve at the hot water outlet. This mixes a touch of cold water in with the very hot water to bring the temp down to a safe level. You cant really make the water hotter than what you recieve from the unit on max setting.
