    Replace or Correct Shower valve?
    Sorry about the delay in responding.

    The shower manufacturer is Hannsgrohe Trim,Solaris ThermoBalance I Shower Set Product# 06641000

    Hansgrohe-USA | Products | Product Search Return

    My problem ocurrs when the volume control lever is turned to the maximum volume position and the temperature control is set to cold. When I turn the temperature control from cold to hot the volume of water is reduced by 75%.

    Do you think this is a problem with the shower or hot water heater?

    I have done as suggested and the volume of hot water has not improved. I checked the high temperature limit stop and the service (Isolation) stop built into the valve.

    When I turn the temperature control from cold to hot the volume of water is reduced by 75%. The drop in water volume starts immediately but is a consistent decreased volume when I go from luke warm, warm to hot water.



    Any other suggestions?

    Do you have an adequate hot water at other faucets? If so, remove the cartridge and flush the valve.
