Hi I have a Ideal Standard E type Cf50 boiler. When the heating is on there isn't enough hot water for 2 showers and the water at the taps is just luke warm. When the heating is off there is plenty of hot water at the shower and the water temperature at the hot taps is unbelievably hot, scolding almost. Any ideas?

SOURCE: The temperature in my shower is very luke warm

Do you mean the other faucets in the house are hot and only the shower is warm? If so there is an anti-scald adjustment on the faucet that needs to be turned up a few notches. Havent adjusted a Grohe faucet but most faucets you rmove the handle and behind the handle is a nothced adjustment ring that prevents the faucet from getting too hot. This ring, or stop, is pulled out and twisted clockwise(or counter clockwise to set higher or lower max temp, then pushed back. maybe you can look up grohe to see which way ring or stop adjusts for hotter water.

Greenstar 30cdi hot water issue

The problem is not the water heater. The shower has a mixer or a limiter built into the plumbing so that the water wont get hot. It is a safety feature to prevent burns and protect children from scalding.
