Shower's Attempt to Scald Me.
Hi everybody, I'm new here, so hopefully I'm doing this right.
For the past 3 years, I have lived in a 3rd story apartment style condo. And within those 3 years, I have had problems with the shower since the day I moved in.
The shower uses the standard two knob turning system for hot/cold water; but regardless of how I set the temperature the water continues to decide to adjust itself, and always to the warmer side.
It seems to be worse when I pull the tong to activate the shower, as a reasonable temperature coming out of the faucet becomes a scalding one coming out of the shower head.
Just today I had the cold water on full, and the warm water turned on just slightly and I was still getting too much warm water. I'm not committing to the idea of taking cold showers, so hopefully I can get this problem solved.
I've taken showers at various times throughout the day, afternoon, and evening yet the problem seems to remain the same.
Any thoughts on what may be causing the problem?
