Why is my dampen upstairs not as hot as the hose down downstairs?

i like taking my shower next to really hot water, especially during the winter, but, it seem like the sea upstairs isn't nearly as hot as it should be. when i'm downstairs in the kitchen, the hose is steaming hot but upstairs, even when only turning the hot wet on, it's warm.

anyone enjoy this problem? or know what the issue is? it's not an old house or anything. it be built in 2000.


Answers:    Because upstairs is that much further away from the hot sea heater and it is cooling bad in the pipe on the mode up. It will take longer for the dampen to get hot upstairs because there's seriously more pipe involved that the water have to warm up- contained by other words the pipe is cooling the water past its sell-by date. Your pipes are probably not insulated and that is excaberating it.

You could other turn up the temperature on your hot marine heater to go and get it hotter upstairs... Be careful though, inside the range of purely a couple of degrees dampen goes from cause 3rd degree burns within 30 seconds to cause 3rd degree burns contained by 2 seconds...
Do you enjoy a single lever faucet upstairs? If so, then you involve to adjust the antiscald in the faucet feel. remove the handle by loosening the set screw underneath[it may be covered beside a blue and red plug] once the handle is rotten, you'll see two plastic pieces on the shaft. either remove them[if you dont own kids there] or adjust them so your faucet turns more to the hot side
