Hello.
I live in a new house in the country and am on a well. The water pressure at the tank is set between 50 and 70psi. Cold water pressure is great throughout the house.
My problem is with the hot water. There seems to be a lack of pressure. I thought it was the mixing valve but I removed it and it is still the same although I am finally getting hot/hot water to the taps.
If I run a tap and turn on another one on full hot water the water pressure drops A LOT.. THe cold water when turned on is great.
I checked the lines going into and out of the hot water tank. They are 3/4 inch. The plumber ran 3/4 in throughout the house and then 1/2 to the taps.
When we moved in the mater bathroom was not completed since I was going to finish it myself. There was no hot water in all the taps and it was determined that the shower.tub tap had to be installed. The tap is a Delta 17T series set. we have another one on the other full bathroom in the house as well. once it was installed the hot water was flowing well.
Now that we are moved in and using everything we now noticed the pressure problem.
I checked the tub/shower tap in the master bath and found that it is installed backwards. Hot is cold and cold is hot. I suppose I will have to remove the cartridge and reset it.
My question is. Has anyone had similar hot water pressure problems or problems using the Delta 17T series taps. I am thinking the loss of pressure could be due to the 17T series taps.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
