guslopez (and joanmalaga) , that is what it is. Cant believe i havent found this out before. Joan , when the air is cold , butano cannot fully vapourise , so therefore it doesnt burn properly. Although the flames are burning away , it is not enough to heat up the water. So last night , i bought a new bottle of gas and wrapped it up in an old duvet and left it in the utility room overnight. Bearing in mind that we've been having coldish / slightly warmish showers for the last week and a half or so , it was with some doubts in my mind as to whether this would do the trick. I connected the new bottle of gas on this morning , the better half jumped in the shower , and when i popped my head round the door , i could hardly see her for the steam. Piping hot !!! The bottle is back in the utlity room wrapped up in readiness for tonights showers. Try it joan , i do believe you can buy some insulated covers to wrap round the bottles to stop them from getting too cold.

Thanks to all for replying.

 Hola all ,

Is it just me that has problems with cold showers in the winter time here or has anybody else suffered from this. The gas boiler is burning away but the water just refuses to get warm. The gas bottle is outside so it will get colder but is this really the cause ? Also the boiler goes off with a bang everytime we turn the hot water tap on (hot water , i wish ) , but the end result is cold agua. This happens every winter. I had the boiler serviced last year and twice the year before and yet they said everything was ok. Is there anybody out there with a solution ?............................................................please

... some Secco or Olimpia (they look exactly the same on the UK websites) wall mounted dehumidifiers. The type i want is the 14L dehumidifier that also has a 1KW heater. I've looked around but have yet to come across them over here. Anybody ?

 

TIA ,

 

The Doctor.

Final update -- Telefonica said they would send a letter of confirmation within 14 days and then a couple of days later they had the cheek to ring me up and ask if i wanted their faster internet (unbelievable) and when i told them i had cancelled their service they then told me it would take 17 days. Anyway , as you can see by the dates on these postings , over a month has elapsed and they still havent been in touch but thankfully my new router has arrived from Spantel and when i rang to tell them and get the start up instructions from them , a lovely woman called Violet said she would ring Telefonica and make sure everything was cancelled , which she duly did. And now i have excellent fast internet with no stoppages or freezing . It has been on for 4 hours today and has not given me 1 seconds bother . On Telefonicas service , i would have logged off and then back on again at least 20 times by now.

Telefonica , you are the weakest link , goodbye.

Update -  nobody turned up so i rang them to cancel everything. Apparently , nobody was gonna turn up anyway , it was just another lie amongst the many they have spun me.  They are supposedly gonna send me a letter of confirmation of closure.

mmmmmmmmm
