    Shower valve adjustments
    Just purchased a five year old home. Shower is a single handle rotating counterclockwise for more hot water. We barely get any cold through it. Can I adjust it. Two other single lever controls work perfectly. Can the mixer valve be adjusted? Unfortunately I haven't determined the brand yet.


    Thanks

    I have a Delta shower that operates like yours and it is adjustable. However, I had the directions and had to read them 2-3 times to get it right. You need to determine the brand and hopefully get a manual. You might just luckout and find that when you remove the knob you can rotate it just a bit and re-install it.
