To all,
I have a 50 gallon gas water heater, and in my only shower I have a delta 1700 Monitor set up. My problem is that I only get about 40 seconds of hot from shower then I have to adjust the heat up some and repeat every 40 seconds or so. This problem started last fall/winter and I replaced the valve with some very minor results. It gets worse with the lower incoming water temp. then after the 10 min shower you have to wait about 20 minutes to get the same heat. I upped the temp on the hot water to 135 and I do get about 130 coming out of the tub faucet. this helped only a little bit... I am fairly good at troubleshooting but this has me stumped. Also when I get out of the shower I get plenty of hot water out of the vanity sink. any direction would be appreciated. Also I have balancing valve set to highest temp
Thanks
Lemmon
