Hey Guys,
I'm having some issues with a house I just bought. The shower is a little on the low side of pressure. There are times it drops even lower at random. I figure it is the pump catching up, but hard to troubleshoot when I'm butt-naked and wet. More of an issue though, is any time any other water in the house is used, especially flushing the toilet while in the shower, I get scalded. I figure it has to do with something else robbing the cold water supply and getting practically straight hot water coming out, until the toilet is full or the other faucet gets shut off, or I scream at the wife to turn the washer or dishwasher off (can't hardly get her to do dishes or laundry, but when she finally gets off her butt to take care of it is when I am in the shower...but I'm not here to ask advice about her.) THEN, it takes a while for the water temp to restabilize.
Preventing scalding hot water from usage elsewhere in the house is my main concern...but if I could also get more pressure the full time in the shower, that would be super. So, where should I start? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You in Advance,
Eric
