    If that's the only valve with a problem I'd shut the water off, open up the valve and remove the cartridge. I would the soak the cartridge and aerator in Lime-Away or CRL. I would then pour Lime-Away or CRL in the body of the valve and let it soak for a while. Wash the parts off in clean water and reassemble. Did that resolve your problem? Let me know, Tom

How do I fix a shower faucet? [ 1 Answers ]

My shower faucet doesn't turn the full 180 degrees, only 90 degrees, so the water doesn't get hot enough for a shower. I know it's not the water heater because every other faucet in the house works fine. Is this an easy fix? :confused:
