Why would hot water be coming out of the hot and cold faucets?

Obviously hooked up wrong, or the faucets are mismarked . Usually cold on the right, hot on the left.

There is a hot/cold cross connection at one or more of the faucets at you house. make sure all faucets are shut off both hot and cold. If it still occurs more than likely you have a Moen faucet somewhere (most likely).

water pressure

old galvanized piping

Stopped at all faucets? Didn't pay the water bill. If in cold climate, the line from the outside to probably the water heater has probably frozen.

Low water pressure or cold water main undersized.

the assembley behind the facet might be faulty. or if it was recently plumbed it may have had only cold water ran to it. good luck snm

If you are referring to a regular building, the cold water feed pipe goes directly to all cold faucets, toilets and hot water tank. The purpose seems obvious.

There won't be any water coming out of the faucets. You may also hear water running, if your pipes run in a crawl space beneath the house. Most of the pipes I have worked on involve an outside faucet that someone forgot to turn off, before the cold season. The water pressure may be reduced; a test... turn off all water faucets and go to your water meter, see if it is still moving this…

Usually red. For example, if you want to use colors to label hot and cold faucets, the hot would be red and the cold would be blue.

If it is just one faucet, the cold water line may be next to a heat source. If it is at all faucets, perhaps the lines are reversed on the water heater.

I'm no plumber, but I would imagine that (if the hot faucet is giving you cold water) that the hot and cold pipes leading into the bathroom have been somehow switched.

yes idiot the antifreeze is to keep the water from freezing

If the water heater is near this faucet, I would check it frist. The sacrifcial rod in some heaters can cause this. Also, when the water heats up it will expand and back up into the feed water line, mixing the hot and cold water so that the cold water may have the same small.

Possibly a pressure reducing valve installed after piping for first faucet, which would cause situation describing.

Could be a partial blockage in the supply lines to the faucet. Could also be a different size of supply line. The faucet valves may also need cleaning.

If the water is coming from the main, it should not be dirty. If it comes from the cold water storage tank in the loft, maybe it needs to be cleaned or covered.

The water is initially cold and it takes time to warm it up.

Usually air in the lines or possibly worn washers in the faucets.

Well, between cold water and cold water.... I would have to say, Cold water 1) You mean cold water or hot water, and 2) Neither. I would go for lukewarm water. 1) You mean cold water or hot water, and 2) Neither. I would go for lukewarm water.

Odds are that the cold water lines to the faucet you are trying to use are shut off but the hot water lines coming from the water heater are not. That is why you have hot water but no cold water.

maybe its blocked

It's rust sediment from where the water has been shutoff. More information is needed such as does it come from the hot side, or cold side? If it's the hot side, it could be your anode rod on your water heater. If it's the cold side, it's rust, and the pipe would have to be replaced. Could be someone used a black iron nipple in the bathtub/shower piping.

because the water in the kitchen heats up faster because there is less water coming through the faucet that has to be heated up. but in the shower you have to heat up a lot more water and so it takes longer. Both kitchen faucets and a shower body have seats and the seat diameter is approximately the same for both types of faucets Showers like kitchen faucets also have restricted flow in many areas…

Iron bacteria - to cure problem must know - Is it also in cold water, is there an odor? Is your supply from public or private?

Not always, but they should be. The convention in plumbing was to have cold on the right and hot on the left. This was only written into some US building codes (Southern Building Code) in the past 10 years.

It is probably the individual faucets. Take the screen off at the end of the spouts.

No pressure anywhere or only hot water faucet? I'm guessing just at the faucets. Very often when you open up the water line rust and sediment will break off and plug the screens on the faucet. Sometimes it lodges in the faucet itself. Most faucets have a screen at the end of the spout that unscrews. I'll bet that solves your problem.

Condensation? Water coming in is cold this time of year and the house is warm and may have enough moisture in it to collect on the colder pipe.

It depends on where it's coming from. There is no cooling system connected to most cold water taps, so the temperature never drops below that of the source.

because water would be hot if our environment is hot and if our environment is cold then water would be cold

No, the cold water supplies the water heater also. No water coming in means no water at all.

It would probably die. But it depends on how cold the water is. Goldfish like warm water. So take it out of the cold water and put it in warm water.

I would suggest to put cold water. Not really cold, but, regular cold, tap water.

You have hot water coming in when it is set on cold and also when it is on hot? You have switched the control back and forth? If yes, the fill valve where the hoses connect has to be stuck. It could also be that the Hot & Cold Supplies were plumbed in backwards in the wall. Try switching the hoses & see if this solves the problem. If not then it could be something…

Your water heater probably isn't working properly.

Sounds like your main line coming in is small if it's 1/2 inch stepping it up to 3/4 coming in then down to 1/2 inch would increase your pressure

The only thing that could cause this is outside air has leaked into the house and is cooling off the pipes. If the water heater is producing the temp that is set on the thermostat, then it will come out the same temp everywhere, unless you just think the faucets are getting hotter. If your water heater is electric, the elements could be getting bad or dirty from hard water,which will cause inefficient heating. But…

Is the water heater working? The tank itself should be warm if it is. If you have cold water at the faucets then it's either a closed valve on the heater or it isn't working. Thanks Lazuruslong, but that was neither my problem when it happened to me nor any kind of solution. If there is no water coming from the the hot water taps, but there is water coming from the cold water taps…

It may be caused by your faucets needing replacement cartridges, if your faucets are single valve type. Note: I learned of this several years ago working with the Moen technicians (they willingly helped diagnose the problem.) This may seem counter-intuitive but when a house is built the installers will choose one manufacturer for faucets, although many different styles, within the house. If they install a single handle type the seals on the faucet cartridges start…

It depends on the valve, who makes it and what model is it? you have a cross connection in the water system ( I don't think it is the value, most of the time it is on your washing machine hot and cold water valve. Go to a faucet away from the machine and turn on the water. Then go listen at the machine you should hear water going through the hot and cold water…

Was put in Katrina workers way!backwards..deal with it!

All dogs have a runny nose to a point but I would say that your dog has caught a cold or has allergies. I would take him to the vet and get him some antibiotics before the cold gets worse. Especially if he isn't as active as usual.

Assuming you don't have your own well but are connected to a municipal water supply this could mean that some pipes are being flushed somewhere in your area or that the water pressure is very low.

If someone were to flush a toilet, the water pressure could drop accordingly. If you lost all water pressure, chances are that your main water line coming into the home has a huge leak or not enough pressure. The hot water tank is pressurized by the cold water pressure coming into the house. If there is no water flowing from the water meter into the home, you won't have any hot water either.

In hot water because the heat coming from the hot water is mmelting the suger and dissolving it

you could have a hole in one of your pipes or hoses that the water went throw.

You can try following the water lines back to the water heater to make sure there is not a valve closed holding the water back that may have been forgotten after the repair. This being the case, I would be worried that the repair was not check to see if it was done correctly.If you have pressure on the hot water at other faucets in the home, then I would think this could be the…

Cold blooded catfish is cold blooded because if you feel the water it is cold. If the water was warm it would be dead if the catfish was in warm water.

Because they're formed when water gets cold enough, and if it wasn't cold, then it would just be water.
