Master bedroom tub/shower faucet. Water at spout is plenty hot but when diverter is engaged the water comes out of shower head hot for a very short period of time (less than 30 seconds) and then goes to lukewarm. Have used different shower heads with no change. The sink just after the shower does not get very hot water at all. Other shower and sink faucets get very hot water.
Already replaced hot water heater which did not correct problem.
Could the diverter spout be causing the problem ? I have read for years to try and figure it out. Have changed cartridge in tub faucet with no change in problem. It is an old fixture, probably 15 years. An elger, one handle.
I am trying not to have to replace entire faucet as it would require some destructive access to be gained. Any help is appreciated.
