Having a shower at the correct temperature is one of the simple joys in my life. As an electrician and a part-time plumber, I am often called to repair clients’ shower water temperature problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most people complain about the shower water temperature being too cold, but there is a growing list of issues that can now cause the water temperature to be too hot. So what is causing the hot water to go cold and then hot again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this post, I will be showing you how to fix the more common shower water temperature problems and solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a number of reasons you are having shower water temperature problems these could be due because of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have the main tank with hot water storage then this is less prone to water temperature fluctuations unless you are the last person to have a shower and all the hot water is gone. These tank hot water storage systems are not efficient and tend to fail after 10 years due to internal scale build-up or heating element failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many people nowadays are going to gas tankless hot water which will give you endless hot water but these can be problematic if not sized correctly. It is important for these instantaneous hot water systems to be serviced every few years due to scale build-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main issues of these tankless systems are fluctuating hot water temperature, flame failure, blocked inlet\/outlet air vents, and internal scale build-up of the hot water heat exchanger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
