Getting the water system back in shape after a winter without winterization and a leaking hot water heater. After replacing a cracked fitting behind
the electrical cabinet and getting the hot water heater replaced, I was testing all the connections I could get to, and verifying operation. With no
leaks observed I switched on the water heater and gave it a few minutes to warm up. Testing for hot water in the bathroom everything seemed fine.
Testing in the kitchen, I had warm water. All good, I thought, but rotating the kitchen faucet valve only produced warm water, no cold. I thought
this might just be the faucet valve not working correctly, but checking the water lines under the sink, I found both of them warm. Seems warm water
was flowing through both lines. This was with shoreline water connected. Any idea why this might be happening?
