See picture below...as of late, when the temp dial is set on hot ( 100° ), half the volume of water comes out as when on cold. Until I discovered this I thought that we were suffering from low water pressure. We also have a hand held sprayer on the other wall that is affected too. The water faucets are fine.. from hot to cold same pressure, tube in the washing machine fills ok.
For the shower the main control as you went from off to on to full there was always an increase, now when you get to about 1/2 way, after that it is the same pressure unless on cold. So what do you think, is this a DIY or a job for a plumber, how much should it cost. This was in a bathroom that had a tube, there is a panel in a closet that has access to the back only at faucet level for the tube, so possibly a hole will have to be knocked in the wall to service the valve...could it be just an adjustment for the hot watre control.
thanks
