Thermostat on your hot water system set too high - it needs to be turned down a little. It now depends on what sort of hot water system you have - a domestic hot water boiler or immersion heater.

Depends on the type of boiler but most have a thermostat,sometimes two . so you can set he tap water temperature and the radiator central heating temperature.. Find the thermostat and lower the temperature setting. It will save you money for gas as well to do this.

You probably need to turn down the thermostat on the hot water heater. Whether your heater is gas or electric this adjustment should lower your bill, too.

Check what the water temp is set at on the water heater. Sounds like it's all the way up.

Adjust the temperture on your water heater to a lower temperture. Be careful with children getting burned with water that hot.

This almost has to be from your hot water heater setting being set to high try turning it down most of them are marked on the gas valve where it should normally be set.

Ours did the same and it was a valve/gasket thing in the boiler. It meant it was permanently on. The water was so hot it was 'spitting' out of the taps.
