Need a bit more information. Is the shower a single handle? It may have a temperature stop under the handle. |

how about the kitchen sink? we must ,by code, have water no hotter than 125 at the faucets and 109-112 at the shower. the thermostats on the water heater may not be accurate. as long as the water at the faucets and shower are in the range i gave you, you can keep inching up the controls on the water heater.

Do the pipes run in the slab? If they do not I would guess that it is a problem at the mixing valve. |
