Why do i have hot water coming out the tap in the master bedroom tub but not out of any of the taps in the other two rooms' tubs?
Usually it is because one bathroom is closer to the hot Water Heater than the others. I've lived in two different 2-story homes where the Water Heater is in the Attic(or 3rd floor). The bathrooms that have the plumbing that runs directly to them will have hotter water. The other reason could be that the hot water is turned off at the tube. To check this, turn on the Hot water only: if no water comes out then it is turned off at the tube.
