My wife and I recently moved into a home that has a 18 series Dlta Monitor in the master shower. I am trying to find out if there is any way to disable/override the scold control feature on the hot water. We get great hot water in the sinks, but the shower can not get hot enough! Any help would be appreciated!!

Mike: Usually, the Temperature Scald Guard is located directly behind the handle. Remove handle and look for a fat, insert-disk-like plastic washer installed on the stem. It is not attached with screws - just slipped on. Sometimes it has notches, sometimes it has one notch. It prevents handle from moving all the way to the hot water side. Take needle nose pliers, remove that ring and toss it. Now you'll be getting maximum hot water.
