Hi,
just had a bathroom remodeled.. Prior to this, the old sink would get
real hot fast. few secs.. Now it takes approximately 35 secs to get
hot... I checked the shower and tub they got hot real fast... The
shower has 3 new jets.. I have not used the shower yet as it does not
have a door, brand new and I havent used the tub either. Could this
slow getting hot water to bathroom faucset be because I have not used
the shower on a regular basis???
The other batrhoom on same floor gets hot fast.
Thanks
In addition to all the excellent advice already offered, take the aerator
off the faucet for a test run. *It may have clogged with sediment the first
time it was used. *Not easy but a needle can clear the holes.
old faucet was an old American standard from the 1950s..
You are going to get about 1/4 to 1/2 the flow of that old faucet.

Not easy but a needle can clear the holes.
So can blowing the aerator out in the opposite direction with an air
hose or a jet of water.
You just have to make sure you don't blow the screen out and lose it.
I hate to recommend replace rather than repair, and I haen't looked
but I think you can also buy a new screen at a real hardware store,
like ACE. You may have to buy a package of 10! It's real but not
that real. You can give them to your friends, become Johnny
FaucetScreen.
