The temperature setting on your hot water heater may be set too high. There is an adjustment behind the panel.

Why does the hot water come out of the shower head slower than the cold?

Because either the water pressure in the entire house is too low, or: Often municipal water contains various minerals. These minerals deposit in any vessel which transports the water. In the shower, the small ports of the shower head may become clogged with mineral deposits over time, such as calcification. So, you may need to buy a new shower head, or soak your shower head in a cleaning solution that can break down the mineral deposits inside.

Why does only hot water come out of the bath shower with the cold turned on?

First make sure that the hot and cold supply lines (the plumbing) aren't backwards (hot should be on the left as you are facing the faucet) or that someone accidentally ran two hot lines. For the problem to be in the faucet itself you would have to have a single handle faucet. If this is the case the control valve is broken and should be replaced. Three handle Left= Hot Water Flow. Right= Cold Water Flow Center= Controls whether the water comes out the shower head or tub faucet. Two handle Left= Hot Water Flow Right= Cold Water Flow (Diverter Valve is elsewhere if it's a tub/shower) Single handle One handle controls both water pressure and temperature
