Recently the water in the tank is only getting lukewarm. Electricity co have checked the meter, immersion heatre and thermostat have all been changed (3 new stats!)

I'd appreciate any ideas on what the fault might be. Not the element - its been changed also tested ok.

not the supply or timer - we've nbeen up thru the night to check it.

At wits end, really appreciate ideas.

    Could you have a leak somewhere or badly dripping tap that takes the hot water out of the cylinder as it is heating up constantly replenishing it with cold?
