If your shower only activates when you turn on the faucet at the sink, it could be due to a shared Plumbing issue, such as a cross-connection or a malfunctioning pressure balance valve. This can cause a drop in water pressure, redirecting flow to the shower. It's also possible that there is a blockage or leak in the pipe system that's causing the shower to behave this way. Consider consulting a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

Why is only hot water coming out of the shower?

Only hot water may be coming out of the shower because there could be an issue with the water heater, such as a malfunction or a setting that needs adjustment. It is recommended to check the water heater and its settings to ensure that both hot and cold water are being properly supplied to the shower.


Why when the shower is used is there a nasty fishy smell coming from the cupboard behind where the shower is located?

Its caused by dampness. The only solution to this is to strip your shower completely, tiles and old waterproofing (if any) and re-waterproof the shower and retile. I also recommend changing the shower trap and waste pipes along with the shower water pipes if one can afford to do so. Rather do the job once properly.

What temperature should be coming out from the shower head?

There is no specific temperature, on the shower unit there is a 'mixing valve' which allows you to adjust the temperature to individual requirements, up to the maximum that the heater is set or the lowest value where only unheated water is delivered.


When taking shower and someone flushes toilet at same time the water in shower is scalding hot?

When you take a shower, you're mixing a combination of hot and cold water to make a comfortable temperature for the shower water. A toilet draws only off the cold water system. In older or poorly designed plumbing systems, when you flush the toilet, the cold water is pulled by toilet, so the water coming through the shower is only drawing from the hot water tank.

What do you when your face is dry and you peel all of the skin off your face and now your face is raw?

Neosporin. Don't wash your face. Don't use lotion either. Use neosporin plus pain. Nothing else. It's fine to take a shower and get it wet but that will be the ONLY time you can get it wet.


How do you fix the clicking noise coming from the valve behind your shower wall after taking a shower if you were told it might be a valve adjusting for pressure?

If the noise is only for a few moments after taking a shower, its the expansion on the hot water side. Water lines going through studs will expand and make noise. the only way to fix this is to get in the wall and either loosen the pipe or tighten it with a shim.
