Hi there,
We bought a house and after we moved in noticed a strange plumbing issue. When we take a shower (or use any faucet in the house), it's really hard to get a comfortable warm temp, as you really need to work the faucet a tiny bit at a time to get there.
The really big problem is the water pressure is strong ONLY when on fully hot or fully cold. When it's warm, it's 2/3 of the hot or cold water pressure.
In the kitchen, you can put both the cold and warm water on all the way and it just stays ice cold. I need to turn the hot on all the way and then inch the cold bit by bit to get it comfortable.
At first I thought this may be an issue with the faucet, but all the faucets are the same way. Any idea what the cause could be and is there a way to rectify it?
Thanks!
