This is our first time owning a house. about a week ago we had to replace a leaky kitchen faucet, so we turned off the main water supply lever outside. We also turned off the lever of the gas water heater. There’s also a solar water heater that we didn’t mess with or turn off. After we fixed the leaky faucet, we turned all the levers back into the "on" position.
Now I noticed that for the past week our shower/tub in the master bedroom has not been as hot as it used to get. After the 2nd (15 minute) shower, the water turns very cool.
Not sure what is going on? Do I have to push that button where the temperature dial is? We didn’t mess with that and has been in the on position the whole time.
Electric water heater is fairly new and both bathrooms have nice hot water, but kitchen faucet and dishwasher won’t even get hot enough to wash dishes. It’s probably around 100 degrees. Pressure is OK, though not great. It’s a single lever style faucet, installed in April this year when we bought the house.
House is built on a slab with all plumbing running through concrete, but since a bathroom on the same side of the house as the kitchen has good hot water, it probably isn’t the long trip from the heater that’s cooling the water down. (it’s maybe 30′)
thanks for any and all suggestions. I hate to think I need to jackhammer these floors to solve the problem!
I raise the kitchen faucet lever up, but maybe there isn’t enough water pressure to keep it there. It falls slowly and I have to lift it again. Is there some spray or something I can use to increase the friction?
Actually I just found the answer on the faucet website. Donald M had it right. There was a small cap, popped it off and then tightened internal "screw" with phillips head screwdriver and that solved it.
I just purchased and installed a Price Pfister Florentino 2 lever kitchen faucet. When turning off the hot water, the lever rotates beyond the off position and gets out of alignment. I keep having to unscrew the handle, realign it and tighten it back in place. But it quickly get turned around again with normal use. What should I do to fix this permanently??
I am removing a single lever, 1 hole sink, kitchen faucet. it is a danze faucet. It does not have a nut on it under the sink, but it appears to be tightened. what other ways are these faucets attached to the sink? i have the lines disconnected but i cant remove the faucet. i took the handle off too, but i dont see any screws or anything. please help!!!
There were to screws in the bottom but they werent screwed into a nut. could it just be sealed with some sort of gasket?
