in THE MAIN WALL
Hi, I have something called winter/summer hook-ups and I can't seem to get a continous flow of hot water. It is scalding hot one minute and ice cold the other. Is there anything I can do to get a continous flow of hot water?

    How is your pressure on hot water side? Coil could be narrowed by minerals. Also, the outside of coil could be clogged and dirty.

    Not Enough Hot Water

    Coil system ? Drawing a too high of a flow rate would out run a coil. Large or old shower head above 2.5 gpm and tub draw would out run what most coils can produce.

    Make sure the mix is not by-passing.. A by-pass other then the mix valve would kill the flow of hot water to your shower. Sink facets , portible dish washers and washing machines, hand held shower heads with shut offs are a few to check...

    Coil maybe dirtyer than a flush may clean. May need to call in a coil cleaner...
