Contact glacier bay to get a replacement control/handle assembly. Usually their customer service department is good at replacing the parts under warranty
You should have individual cold & hot water supply shut-offs in your basement for your tub/shower; if not, now's the time to install them.
If I could be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.
Pegasus shower faucet causing nearby toilet flush to trigger tankless hot water heater to trigger. Also, all faucets in house make hammering noise when turning them off. When turning the inwall pegasus shower faucet valve water stops shut, all issues disappear. So the pegasus cartridge is at fault, though we just replaced it and the pressure regulator too. Will another cartridge/pressure regulator work instead? Thanks
I have a similar problem in a house I just moved into. It's clearly not an issue with the temperature settings because I adjusted those and it hasn't fixed the problem. Pressure is low and it's only hot water, which leads me to believe the cold water isn't making it to the faucet for some reason. Have you figured out a solution? I'm searching all over and can't find anything. It's maddening. Thanks. Bob
Sounds as if you have air in the pipes.
To solve this you will need a piece of hose that will fit over the ends of your hot and cold faucets in the kitchen (or other lowest faucets in the house) - fix it on tightly with hose clips and open both faucets fully.
Wait 5 minutes or so before turning off hot water faucet first.
If that hasn't cleared it repeat the process but after 5 minutes turn on your shower faucet and see if it splutters as the air is forced out. You may have to do this with other faucets in the house too. Close each one off once the water runs evenly without air in it.
If that doesn't work you will need to drain your hot water system down completely. Turn off water supply at the hot water cylinder (or rising main if you have a tank-less system) and open all faucets until water stops flowing.
Close each faucet about 2/3rds then turn on water supply again. Wait for each faucet to get a slow but steady flow. Going round each faucet in turn gradually open each on a little bit more until all are running fast and even and all the air has spurted out. Now go round each faucet in turn closing each one down a bit at a time until they are only dribbling a small amount. Turn all faucets off.
Those new faucets generally have a lower water pressure due to legislation passed in 2007 that reduced that maximum allowable gpm (gallons per minute). I hate to tell anyone this but there is little if anything you can do. First of all, make sure the shut-off valves are open completely. I know that sounds elementary but I've seen it a bunch of times.
Also check to see if the aerator is blocked with a bit of debris.....unlikely if the flow is uniform but still an easy fix.
