Bathroom Tub/Shower Only Gets Warm Water/Medium Pressure

Hi Ben- could be a few different things. Is the faucet a pressure balance unit? If so, it may need to be adjusted to get hotter water. Depending on the manufacturer, they all adjust differently. Moen&Delta are adjusted by removing the handle assembly- if you don't have the instructions there with you- go online to the manufacturers site & you should be able to get step by step guidance. As for the pressure- hard to say- it could be a water saver shower head- some restrict the flow of water to almost a dribble. There may also be debris in the head itself -pull the head & check the screen- take it out and rinse it, then reinstall & try again. If none of these work, you may want to consult a plumber to check the transfer valve behind the wall. Good luck.

Hi my company name is Abba's Service and you probably have a scald guard on this tap. Take the handle off and you will see a little screw inside pointing sideways Take that screw out and pull the little dial out and turn it with the arrow pionting upwards. Very minor!
