We just moved in about 2 months ago. Almost nothing in the apartment works properly even though this is a new luxury building! The apartment is on the first floor, and we suspect that it was originally suppose to be a community room but the landlord decided to make it an apartment instead. There's nothing below us except the basement. The building has 7 floors with 2 apartments on each floor, (except for the penthouse). The water temperature in the kitchen sink, bathroom sink and bathtub can't be adjusted. If it's too hot, and you try to make it just a little cooler, it becomes ice cold!
Sometimes it does other things. It may stay warm or even hot for a while... and then get too cool to shower with, or just stay luke-warm.
There are 2 tankless water heaters in the apartment. One for the kitchen, (kitchen sink and the dishwasher), and one for the bathroom, (bathroom sink, bathtub, shower, washer and dryer). And actually, I'm not sure if the dishwasher heats its own water, and I'm donno if the washing machine heats its own water as well.
I don't think the person who's supposed to be the plumber is really a plumber. These workers never seem to know what they're doing. They replaced the water heaters but there was no change in the stability of the water temperature. About a week after we moved in, the original shower head, ("American Standard, Rain,"), was switched out for a dual arrangement so I'd have a hand-held shower head. (I'm physically disabled, and need to sit down in the shower and use the hand-held. I can't use the wall-mounted shower head.) Both my wife and I could not use the shower at all at first. But when the super put the original head back, at least my wife could use the shower! It "sort of" worked! But nothing else did! So they came back and replaced, (or maybe just fiddled with), the bathroom water-heater, so maybe I would be able to use a hand-held, but now, EVEN THE ORIGINAL SHOWER HEAD DOESN'T WORK! :) What are these NON-PLUMBERS missing??
I didn't hear any one of the workers call each other Larry, Moe or Curly, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's who they really were. :(
I'm not a plumber. And I suspect neither are any of those guys. The problem seems to be the kind of thing that only a real plumber, (and a really GOOD one), could ever solve! Does anyone on this site have any idea what could be going on with the water in our apartment? All the other apartments in the building are having similar problems. Apparently, Moe, Larry, and Curly built this place too.
Please help! I haven't taken a shower for I donno how long! My skin is breaking down and becoming infected! In a LUXURY building!! The courts here in New York are corrupt. We can't go there. If someone here could give us an idea as to what's wrong with the water here, maybe all this could go away?
Thanks in advance for any help.
