Shower temp adjustment
Not a big deal, really, but if it's an easy job, I'll go for it. Water
temperature adjustment is 'jumpy' - by that I mean there is no way to get gradual changes in output. It always seems to over or undershoot what I want. The diverter is in the wall, not the spigot, with separate H/C knobs. I haven't tried replacing the washers as they shut off perfectly, but could they be the cause? TIA - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Easy's getting harder everyday |

If there's any lateral wiggle, the adjustment will be quirky. While you're in there, you may as well replace the washers. |

This will display the exact sympton you describe. Mark |
