    Did you try to turn up your hotwater heater? Turn it a half notch every 24hrs. Until desired temp is reached... that might work!

    Wendy, does the new faucet have scald proof valve? May be adjustable. Good luck

    Parttime... good observation! I just recently put in a delta on my shower with the adjustable memory temp setting.. I wonder if it wasn't installed correctly.

    YUP! Most likely the temperature limiting device needs to be adjusted. Consult the installation instructions or contact the manufacturer for more info... ;)

    Good luck!
