We remodeled our main bathroom 5 years ago and we had the plumber put in a new
Delta Faucet Linden 17 Series Dual-Function Tub and Shower Trim Kit with 2-Spray In2ition 2-in-1 Hand Held Shower Head with Hose, Stainless T17494-SS-Ithat worked fine until August 2019. Since August, the hot water does not stay hot. A 5 minute shower and the temp adjuster has to be up to 85-90% towards hot to even have a comfortable shower, not hot. Needless to say, the second person to take a shower is at a major disadvantage. I have been in contact with Delta, They have sent me two new valves since November, and I purchased one as well (been thru 4 valves total - original + 3). Nothing has corrected the issue yet. I have flushed the lines, one at a time, with water from and with air, as well as having flushed and cleaned all faucet, handle and shower head components. I have also adjusted the Hot/Cold cam both directions, with no real change in the situation. Today, in another frustrating morning, after two less than satisfying showers, I left the water running (adjusted to 100% to the hot side) and went downstairs and shut off the cold water to see how the system responds, expecting hot water only. SURPRISE! There was NO WATER at the tub/shower. I am at a total loss where to turn next, but will contact Delta first thing Monday. Any tips or solutions from experience is very much appreciated.
