Hot water necessary - Jura Capresso C1500 Espresso & Coffee Maker

This issue may be caused by several factors, including a malfunctioning or improperly sized water heater, clogged pipes, or a malfunctioning thermostatic mixing valve. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the size of your water heater: If your water heater is too small for your home's needs, it may not be able to supply enough hot water to all areas of your home. Consider upgrading to a larger water heater.
2. Check for clogged pipes: If your hot water pipes are clogged with mineral buildup or debris, water flow may be restricted, causing reduced hot water supply. Have a plumber inspect your pipes and clean them if necessary.
3. Check the thermostatic mixing valve: If your home is equipped with a thermostatic mixing valve, it may be malfunctioning and causing the issue. Have a plumber inspect and replace the valve if necessary.
4. Check for leaks: If there are any leaks in your hot water pipes, the water pressure may be reduced, causing reduced hot water supply. Have a plumber inspect your pipes and repair any leaks.
5. Adjust the temperature settings: Make sure the temperature settings on your water heater are properly set. If the temperature is set too low, you may not be getting enough hot water.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact a licensed plumber to inspect and repair your hot water system.

If your Bosch Highflow 21e hot water system is experiencing fluctuations in water temperature while showering, it could be caused by a few different factors. Here are some possible reasons for this issue:

1. Flow rate too high: The hot water system may not be able to keep up with the demand if the showerhead or tap is allowing too much water to flow through. This can cause the water temperature to drop suddenly. Try reducing the flow rate by turning down the tap or using a low-flow showerhead.
2. Water pressure fluctuations: If the water pressure in your home fluctuates, it can cause the hot water temperature to vary. This can be caused by various factors, such as other appliances using water at the same time, or changes in municipal water supply pressure. Installing a pressure regulator or a flow restrictor may help to stabilize water pressure.
3. Blocked or dirty water filter: A clogged or dirty water filter in the hot water system can restrict water flow, causing the water temperature to fluctuate. Check the filter and clean or replace it if necessary.
4. Malfunctioning thermostatic mixing valve: The thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) regulates the water temperature in the hot water system. If it's faulty or dirty, it can cause temperature fluctuations. A licensed plumber or technician can inspect the valve and replace it if necessary.
5. Faulty temperature sensor or control board: If the temperature sensor or control board in the hot water system is faulty, it may not be able to maintain a consistent water temperature. A technician can diagnose the issue and repair or replace the faulty component.

If you're unsure about how to diagnose or fix the issue with your hot water system, it's best to contact a licensed plumber or technician for assistance.

sounds like the primary coil in side is cracked and is mixing hot water.. with the cold water in tank need to check and replace as necessary

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

If you have checked that the hot water tap is turned on fully and the hose is not kinked or squashed at the back, it is worth while checking the hot water inlet filter. Turn the tap off and remove the hot water hose at the washer end. Inside the inlet port there is normally a little filter which should just slide out. Clean if necessary and replace it and the hose. If after turning the tap back on there is no improvement, the problem is symptomatic of a malfunctioning hot water control valve. Sorry but it needs replacing and a service call ;-0(
Good luck,
John C

it is likely required. many new faucets have what's called a pressure balance valve that helps prevent scalding by lowering the pressure of hot when the cold pressure drops (due to a toilet flush or other water being run). Because you have pressure to only one side, that can cause the valve not to provide the necessary volume.

Turn on the hot water at the farthest faucet from the water heater. Once hot water is at that sink immediately go check other taps in the home. If you have to wait more then 10 seconds for hot water at other taps then you have a branched system.

Clean air inlet filter.
Clean combustion air fan.
Clean heat exchanger fins.
Check for adequate combustion air ventilation openings and clean if necessary.
Check vent system for partial blockage and correct as necessary.

I had one that set for 6 months that had that problem. Air had gotten into the water lines. Opened the hot water tap a few times and then removed the end of the water line that runs from the solenoid to heater block to at the solenoid end to bleed air out. It could also have been some calcium deposits that blew out with the air blocking the line. Then I replaced the end of the line, powered the machine up and it worked normally. Note: Jura Capresso and Capresso machines are complicated and it takes some mechanical know how to open them up and service them. They also have four special screws on the back that requires a special tool to open

A timer on a conventional electric water heater can save 5-12% on your hot water bill. The water in the tank remains hot for up to eight hours or more while the water heater is not in operation, depending on the insulation and age of the unit. However, the hot water is still available for household use until it is completely consumed. Thus, if a household has a fifty-gallon water heater, it will have fifty-gallons of hot water available while the water heater is not in operation. Most households won't notice the interruption unless they have high hot water use patterns in relation to tank size. It is best to set the timer during hours when hot water use is lowest, typically during the work day or at night. Adjusting the timer may be necessary if households experience a shortage of hot water.
