We recently bought a 14 year old home. At first I didn't think the hot water heater worked but found that it was new. I have timed how long it takes for the hot water to get to the other side of the house in the shower and it takes 2 full minutes. It only takes 30 seconds for the hot water to get to the bathtub right next to the shower. We live in the Southwest and I am concerned about all the wasted water that goes down the drain for every shower taken.
In addition, the water cools very rapidly at the shower and takes another 2 minutes to get hot if you should turn it off to soap up. YOur tendency is to leave the water running and once again, I don't like wasting that much water in the Arizona desert.
Someone suggested that the valve may be clogged or restricted at the shower but the pressure is fine. Can you make a suggestion as to what we should do about this. The faucet is a single lever handle.
Thanks,
The Oreshans
