SYMMONS Temptrol shower faucet. At mid-setting, the water temperature is warm at first - then turns lukewarm and then cool - all in about 60-90 seconds. I replaced the Spindle (TA-10). No joy.
When I have the cold water supply off and leave the hot water supply on, and the faucet is about halfway open, the hot water comes out of the tub faucet in a dribble. My water comes from a well and normally when I run cold water from a tap, it gets increasingly colder as the water in the line is replaced with cold water out of the ground. I'm thinking the cold water mixing in the Symmons valve is room temperature when I first turn the shower on - so the very little hot water I do have isn't chilled down right away and that's why it feels like a normal shower temperature. As the water in the line gets increasingly colder, it brings the entire output down to a cool temperature. Any feedback or suggestions would be much appreciated.
