    I have a single ball valve faucet in my shower and I want more hot water
    I want to make the water hot and I hope to have pressure along with that
    When I use the cold water in my shower I have more than enough water pressure and then if I add hot the pressure goes down to a trickle and it is to hot I want to adjuste the hot water to cold water ration so that I can take a normal shower

    Hi Mm2013

    What heats your hot water? Do you get hot water from a hot water heater or from a boiler? If you get hot water from a hot water heater, is the hot water heater gas or electric (or oil)? If you get hot water from a boiler do you have a "tankless coil" (coil inside boiler), or from a storage tank (coil inside tank) next to a boiler?

    Start here and then maybe we can talk about details involved with pressure, OK?

    Back to you...
