Sounds like hard water. Service the water valve. Parts are available from your local Bosch Service Provider (Contact Bosch if you don't know who the service provider is).

Bosch aquastar wont get hot

1) If tankless is not showing error code, the problem might be single-handled faucet cartridge:

2) Catch up on maintenance, such as cleaning combustion parts, have gas pressure checked, etc.

I have abosch 1600 ps aquastar 4.3 gpm indoor when i turn hot water on it all fires up but no hot water comes out only luke warm water why

Water heater is heating water but only luke warm water arrives at faucet.
Open TP valve and confirm that hot water is available.
If water at TP valve is hot, then problem might be plumbing-related, for example crossover.

Hi there, I have a bosch aquastar 125b waterless tank. My problem is that i am not getting hot water at all. The water runs during the shower and it stays warm. HELP!!

This should run two showers at once with no problem. If you have a shut off valve on the cold side of the heater, try closing about halfway. This will slow the water flow and the water will have more time to heat up as it pases through the tank. If you dont have a shut off valve, just cut back the hot water valve on your shower and do not use any cold water. If it gets too hot then turn on a little cold water. The object is to slow the speed of the water going through the tank. Tankless heater take a little getting use to but they work great when you know how to treat them. On my shower I turn the hot all the way on until it gets hot and then add a little cold water to bring the temp down. You may have too much water going through too fast to be able to heat it up to what you need. Try this and see how it works.

Bosch AquaStar 125b ng suddenly goes cold during shower

Does it happen to any other fixture? If not, it's most likely your shower valve and not heater.

Water will not stay hot

The cold main water pressure is too low to maintain a constant flow. Make sure you have no other appliences on, or your not comprimised by the lowering of pressure

AquaStar 125B NG continues heating water when no demand

I found the manufactures website and read this specific tech bulletin. I will be replacing or repairing my water value soon.

http://www.boschhotwater.com/Portals/7/TechBulletins/TWH-G1-25_Water_valve_rebuild_B.pdf

The bulletin said the following:
If the burners fail to go off immediately when the
water is turned off, usually due to mineralization in
the water valve on older heaters. To test for this
possiblilty, run hot water at a faucet, then shut off
the cold inlet supply and observe if the burners go
off immediately. If they do not the Aquastar will
overheat and shut down on safety depending on
the delay.
