    Water delay to shower
    I have about 2 minute but up to 5 minutes delay for the cold water to come out of the shower and about 2 minutes for the hot. Sometimes it will have hammer sometimes not.

    I have bleed the lines and checked the shower head.
    It only happens in this one shower of 2 in the house and no other taps have any problems.

    Hi. I'm sorry... not clear here.

    You said, "I have about 2 minute but up to 5 minutes delay for the cold water to come out of the shower and about 2 minutes for the hot." This statement suggests there is absolutely NO water running for at least a minimum of 2 minutes... LOL!

    Please take a few minutes and tell us a little more. Is this a POWER SHOWER? If it is, I'm still a little confused...

    Post back.
