    Hot water
    A plumber installed 2 new faucets at double sinks and a scauld-guard shower faucet in the shower, what do I need to do because I can't get hot water to work in the sinks unless I run either hot water or cold depending on which sink I am using and I have to run cold water in the sink to get hot water in the shower, please help?
