Why does the cold water fauset suddenly have hot water?

You have a cross connection on a faucet somewhere in the house. That means the hot is overriding the cold because of a malfunctioning faucet. Usually happens at the tub/shower diverter if it is a single handle.


Why do you feel cool after bath explain?

This is because your shower is usually hot. The water temperature of the shower is most likely higher or warmer than the outside temperature. Therefore your skin picks up the temperature difference between the shower and the outside temp. and then the skin picks up signals which links to your brain to tell you that it is colder on the outside. hope this helps!!!


Why is there no hot water coming out of one shower and the kitchen sink when all other showers and sinks are getting hot water?

Try removing and cleaning out the aerator on the sink faucet, and the shower head. (Word to the wise: if you take them apart, write down the order. It can be tricky trying to figure it out, afterwards). By just removing them, you should get hot water, thereby verifying that these are the cause of the problem. If you don't want to clean them, you can always replace them. Water saving aerators are available for faucets. Water saving shower heads are also available. Some shower heads even have on and off switches, for additional water savings. How I learned, the hard way: My situation was, hot water from kitchen & bathroom sink faucets, and even from the tub faucet, but not from the shower head. So, I removed the shower head and soaked overnight in CLR.* Cautionary note: Probably would have been OK to soak overnight in vinegar, or for a few hours in CLR. But overnight was too long in CLR. It must have dissolved more than just the calcium deposits. Now the shower head has much thicker and much more water consuming streams. (Previously it had a very stingy water conserving spray).


Will it hurt your hot water heater to use all the hot water?

Hot water heaters (tank/storage type) have a supply line connected to your city or well water. The heater is either on or off depending on the temperature you set on that device. You will not hurt the system as it is designed to constantly heat the water until the temperature is raised to your set point. So the answer is that it neither hurts or helps you HWH.


Why do people shiver when they get out of the shower?

Because your body slowly adapts to the heat of the water in the shower (assuming most people have hot showers), making it seem cold when you step out. If you had a cold shower, it would have the reverse affect, making the room seem warm opposed to the cold water you were just exposed to.
