Mic M on Aug 22, 2013I mean, when you turn on cold side, warm water comes out. Even laundry machine on cold/cold setting comes out warm. Had new water heater installed and called him,and he said a water mixer valve is bad. We've had water pipe banging in shower so he thinks that is where water mixer valve is bad. Had a water arrestor(?) put in 4 years ago to fix that problem, but banging is back again, so that is what I'm trying to understand. Does that help?Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Aug 22, 2013I assume your hot water heater is part of the boiler that heats the house? If that is the case, then who ever installed the new heater did something wrong. Mixing valves or anti-scald valves should not be effecting the cold side of the domestic water system at all. If this is the case, then something was not properly piped. Any other anti-scald device such as a shower should not be back filling into the cold water side. Do you have a photo of the suspected valve? Posting that may help with a better answer.Helpful Reply
