Hot Water Flow question
I have a typical colonial house, and I am having hot water flow issues
upstairs. In both upstairs bathrooms, I get adequate to nice hot water flow in the sink. However, the showers are another story: 1) The dedicater shower"barely" has any hot water at all. I have to MAX the hot water & just "touch" the cold water handle to get a good temperature mix. 2) A tub/shower combo gets adequate pressure from the shower head, but almost none from bathtub spout. Bizzare? This is a mystery to me, because the adjacent faucets seem to get enough hot water pressure. Please help Thanks |
