Hey guys I'm just wondering. I have this problem in that all the faucets and showers in the house works fine and gets hot water, except for one shower. When we turn on the water it just comes out luke warm, I am just curious as to what possibilities could be causing this problem, and what I might need to do to fix it. Any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance

Do you know the make and model of the faucet? I will assume it is a single handled unit, unless you tell me differant.

i can check later tonight, but it's one of the ones with just one knob and u turn and it's cold water, then you keep turning then it introduces amounts of hot water according to how far counter clockwise u turn it

Not sure of what type you have, but I know some of the newer shower faucets have a anti-scald adjustment in them. Here is a site for a Delta, look at the last pages where it describes how to set it. You could just have some gunk in the faucet or the valve could be defective. But this should help some:

it was the setting of the scolding limit. I took it off twisted the thing a couple of times and reset it so it works great now, thanks for all the help
