    Hot water in tub and shower
    I have a new home in Florida and there is some sort of safety device which limits the temperature of the water so I can't take a hot shower. How do I remove it?

    Hey Bud...

    The temperature limit is there for your safety and especially for the sake of smaller children's safety....BUT if you insist on removing it it should be under the handle of the shower valve. Remove the handle and see what you find under there... anything with adjustability is the culprit... :)

    If not easy to remove then can also max. it out as needed but keep there in case someone else decides to adjust in the future!

    If can't find it then give us the name on the shower valve and we'll see what we can find...

    Let us know...
