I have two bathrooms with regulators and one regulator in the kitchen faucet. We had one old shower renovated that was not used for years upstairs. The issue started to happen as soon as they connected the pluming in the new shower. Our main shower in the other part of the house started to run out of hot water quickly and it simply goes to lukewarm. I thought it was the 13 year old tank. I replaced the tank. Same status quo.
The new shower still has no hot water, however the bath sink next to it does. Our main bathroom has very hot water that does not stay hot. When I use the kitchen sink and turn on cold water, it comes out warm.
No idea what is going on.. All we did was renovate one shower...

It sounds like a cross connection between the hot + cold water lines at the new shower faucet. If it has a temporary plug in it, that's the problem.
