The water heater is working fine (I think) but we are slowly losing supply to a couple of the bath tubs. We are only getting a small amount from the hot water side. However, the hot water in the shower next to the tub is fine. Is something causing blockage and can I fix it myself?

To help we must know the brand name of the valve. One handle or two knobs? How old? Posi-Temp or Anti-Skald features? Do you flush your heater on a regular maintenance schedule? Give ne all the details, no matter how small. Regards, tom

It's a two handle. I didn't see a brand name on it. The house is nine years old and I'm pretty sure that's the original. No, I haven't done any maintenace on the water heater but it is probably nine years old as well.
