    Moen posi-temp no water pressure
    My Moen posi-temp cartridge was faulty so I replaced it. When I reassembled it, I could not get the clip back in, so I went back to the store and got it replaced. I still had the same problem. The original was 10 years old, so I figured it had changed slightly so I dremeled a small groove in each side to allow the clip to go in.
    When I reassembled everything it worked perfectly for all of my testing. First real shower, everything was fine for several minutes (enough time to get my hair really soapy... ) Then there was a bang, and I lost all water pressure, just a dribble left..
    I checked everything and it seemed fine, the rest of the taps are OK, and the hand-held shower works, it just seems like the back-pressure from the drencher is the problem. I cleaned the shower head and checked the valve between the showers, but that's all fine... any ideas please?

Moen Posi-Temp Shower Occasional Lukewarm vs Hot [ 18 Answers ]

Our furnace 'seems' to be working fine regarding heating the home, but our upstairs shower over the past month or two often only has lukewarm hot water. It DOES seem like it's on colder days so perhaps it's working hard heating the 5 zones of the house. I've moved the thermostat schedules earlier...
