Ok. I'm having my master bath remodeled. After they took the old tub out they also removed the old valve and put in a new one higher up for a shower only. I'm replacing the tub with a shower. This was on Wednesday. Wednesday night I noticed a decrease in hot water. It was warm only. On Thursday morning even less hot water. My wife showered with only the hot on and she said it was luke warm. So when they remodeler gets here I ask if anything he did could effect the hot water. He said no and said maybe an element in the water heater was bad. I drained the heater tank and removed the elements. They looked bad and the tank was full of sediment so I decided to replace the heater. I don't know how old the other one was. I've been in the house 6 years. Installed new water heater yesterday. Water is still only warm even though I have it set to 150. When I flush a toilet with the hot water running it then gets really hot. SO the hot and cold must be mixing somehow. Could this be the result of the new shower valve install? What if he has the hot hooked to the cold and vice/versa? Would this allow the hot and cold water to mix? Please help!
