    If I barely turn my shower knob it makes water too hot?
    Just had a new water heater installed and now the shower faucet is very sensitive. If I turn it just a bit to the cold or hot side the change in temperature is drastic. Any ideas?

    I should have added that the faucet is an Moen and is single handle controlled.. Pull to turn water on rotate to adjust temperature.
