If galvanized piping was uset to plum the house, it may have rusted shut, an easy fix would be to run a new line in copper or PEX from the water heater to the valve

How much water is wasted if a faucet is left running for only three minutes?
It all depends what faucet is running if it is a kitchen or lavatory faucet it would be roughly 3 gallons if it was a tub and shower faucet it would roughly 15 gallons
How do you convert a triple handle shower faucet to a single handle faucet?
No conversion, it would need to be replaced with a single handle faucet.
How do you fix a shower that has no hot water pressure when there is hot water pressure everywhere else in the house?
Replace the shower valve (faucet). I would call a plumber to check it out. Because there may be another reason, it depends on other things besides faucet. Like a crimped water line under slab floor, if you have copper water lines, i have seen the cooper pipe go all the way into a tee and block off the outlet to the faucet. If it has been like i have mentioned above it would have been like this since day one. It would help if people would tell how old there house is and how long has the problem been going on. And yes it could be very much the faucet itself if it just starting do it. IN ADDITION: This also depends if the shower has a mixer or tap (faucet) installed, as the question didnt stipulate this. The rest of the house could have taps and the shower have a mixer. Mixers need a minimum pressure of 400 kpa from the hot water tank (geyser) to work. If the hot water tank is of a lower pressure this would explain for its poor performance.
What is the fix for when you flush the toilet while in the shower the water gets hot?
New pressure balance faucet or you can install a pressure balance valve in the water lines behind tub or if you have a crawl space you can install it on the water lines there. But install only too the lines to tub faucet. And they are not easy no matter where you install. I would just tell everyone not to use any water till you are done with shower.
What would cause a black silt to come from the bathtub and shower faucet for about fifteen seconds?
You should purge all your water pipes of built in sediment. Don't forget, you are drinking the water too!
What would cause low water pressure in a bathtub faucet?
The faucet is clogged
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

Why would there be water on main level but no water on second level?
Do you mean water leak or water pressure at the faucet? If you are not getting water thru the pipes you may have low pressure, or there is some blockage in the pipes preventing the water from flowing. Lots of times dirt gets in the small holes in the shower head and the sinks faucet (right where the water comes out). You will need to turn the water off in the basin or the shower. Next, take a pair of pliers and remove the shower head, or the basin's spout head. Look in the piece you removed. Is there dirt in it? Clean it or replace the part. Turn the water back on. Hopefully it was only debris blocking your water flow. The entire faucet will not have to be removed. Only unscrew the spout's aerator head., or the showere head.
What would cause water pressure to drop at only 1 sink?
A clogged aerator on the end of the faucet would cause the water flow to decrease in that faucet.
What if your shower faucet is constantly leaking but what you find strange is that it has a rhythm it drips then gets faster then slows and repeats it again?
The water is probably collecting in the shower head until there is enough to overflow which would cause it to drip faster for a bit and then go back to a steady rate.
My shower faucet doesn't turn the full 180 degrees only 90 so the water doesn't get hot enough It's not the water heater because every other faucet in the house works fine Any suggestions?
It would help to know what brand and if it is a pressure /temperature balance type also AKA scald protection
