Hi All,
I’m a bit stumped by this one… we have a second “cottage” on our property that is heated via a Noritz tankless heater. The shower is the furthest away from the water heater, and the bathroom sink just before the shower (and on the same plumbing) is showing no issues with temperature fluctuations.
The “cottage” is downhill of our house (on the same water supply) and there has been an issue with grit in the fixtures. I clean the shower head about twice a year and have removed the screen/aerator from the two sinks — kitchen and bath. I also installed a fine mesh filter where the water comes into the building, but there may be plenty of grit already in the plumbing already…
I will pull the shower head again to make sure there is no change without the shower head, but in the meantime I am wondering if the fairly new (and somewhat infrequently used) Moen single handle mixing valve could accumulate grit, or if that is unlikely…
As always, any and all help will be appreciated!
Thanks,
David
