Why does my water pressure and/or water temperature change when Im taking a shower and water is called for elsewhere in the house (by a dishwasher, washing machine or toilet flush)?
Multiple usage of water in your house causes fluctuations in water pressure. If, while showering, your water temperature changes substantially and pressure drops when water is called for elsewhere in the house, your faucet is not equipped with a pressure balance device. Under certain circumstances, this could present a safety hazard. While no faucet manufacturer can compensate for the water pressure fluctuation, Delta® offers Monitor® pressure balance shower, tub and tub/shower valves that feature our exclusive ScaldGuard® valve. This safety feature maintains a balanced pressure of hot and cold water to maintain water temperature within +/-3° range when a valve is turned on or off elsewhere in the house.
