How many times have you been in the shower enjoy the perfect temperature only to have this rudely interrupted by a scalding all caused by a flushing of a toilet? You scramble to get a way and wonder why on earth this has to be such a painful ordeal. Why does this happen?
Key Takeaways:
- Why does the shower temperature change when flushing the toilet? – The toilet has to refill with cold water, therefore less cold water to use in the shower, changing the temperature of the shower.
- Reduce the amount of water going to the toilet.
- Install a mixing valve, or increase the pipe size to solve this problem.
“You can have a mixing valve installed in your shower to help maintain the balance of hot and cold water in the shower.”
