    Lack of hot water to master shower
    Moved to AZ from Indiana. Found a lack of "hot" water in the master shower but the guest shower is OK. We have to wait 2 to 3 minutes before the shower gets hot. Then after a while it seems to turn lukewarm. The kitchen and the two bathroom sinks as well as both tubs are OK. Any suggestions?

    On some showers there is a mixing valve adjustment. This may be set to low. Check with maker of shower valve to see if u have that type and how to adjust.

    Good luck

    What's the brand name of the shower valve? Single handle? How old? How long does it take to turn "luke warm"? Give me all the information on the valve that you can. Regards, Tom

    It's a single-handle Delta (Tub and shower are separate). We are 2nd owners in this house built in 2003. It take 3 to 4 minutes for the water to get lukewarm to hot.
