Hi, I am having trouble getting hot water to my furthest bathroom. I am currently having my 2 other bathrooms redone and they had to shut off the water multiple times. I figured this messed with my water heater and it crapped out. (it was 18 years old). So I installed a new water heater and I'm getting scorching hot water in the kitchen and garage. In the problem bathroom, when both his/her sinks are running the water gets hot. If I turn one off the temp drops. In the shower it only gets luke warm. Its a Moen valve that maybe original. (House is mid 60s). Now if im in the shower and my wife flushes the toilet, it becomes scorching until the toilet is done filling and then the shower goes back to luke warm. We had zero issues before we started the bathroom remodel. They only installed new shower valves.
Is it possible to mess up on a valve install to give me these symptoms?? My first thought is there has to be cold water getting introduced somewhere, since when the toilet pulls cold water the shower gets scorching.
Sorry for the long post, I'm just beyond lost. Does anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks,
Jarred
