when i turn the handle to the hot water it losses water pressure. the cold is just fine. moen 7594csl

While I enjoy the looka and functionality of the faucet, I have found I have substantially less water pressure than my previous faucet. I think it has something to do with higher effieciency with all new applicances and fixtures. They may have higher efficiency by reducing output but I have to keep the water on longer to clean the dishes....not very efficient!

Is this a question? I called Moen and they sent me some parts. I have not installed them yet.

Yes. this is normal. Because you are pushing the water from the hot water side to the cold water side. The valve will stop the flow of water from the hot to cold water side at a certain threshold temperature. And this temperature is somewhere on the warm side. Therefore the cold water side will be warmer than expected and you will have to run the cold water side until you get the water to the cooler temperature that you want. This is one of the drawbacks of this type of system. It cannot be helped. It's basically a compromise based on the need to get hot water faster. The only way you will truly get the instant hot water and cold water is to set up your plumbing system whereby the entire hot water supply line daisy chains all your fixtures such that the last fixture has a hot water return line running all the way back to the water heater. But this will cost you money to have a plumber do that. This hot water recirculating system is a compromise to save costs.

I had an old one that I replaced due to getting hot water on cold side that lasted about about 15 seconds -there should only be a few seconds of hot coming out of the cold side so if it take more time there may be something wrong with the unit - mine is fine now. good luck- Steve

I had the same concern but it has worked fine. Refreshing, comes to mind. And as I thought about it I came to fear a burst of too hot water more than cold. I've not used the warm/cold model but I don't think there would be a lot of difference in that when you turn a hot faucet on it takes a while before it is hot.

Why do you need a mixing valve when you have cold and hot handles? I turn the hot water on and let it run for a minute until hot then adjust the cold until the water is comfortable. I have had mine for quite a while and it works fine.

The faucet doesn't control hot & cold. Hot and cold are controlled by the main water handle on the bathtub!

Well, when you first start to turn the handle the water comes out cold. In order to get it warm or hot, you have to keep turning the handle counterclockwise. The farther counterclockwise you go the hotter the water get's coming out of the tap, or shower head.

I've only used this through one winter, and other than the initial cold water that comes out when you first turn it on (if water hadn't been used in the house for awhile) I've never had it go cold while showering, even if water got turned on somewhere else during that time, or I adjusted the water temp during a shower. I used to have that problem with a Bosch unit I had and was told it could be caused by water glow, and was advised to get the unit serviced and the screens cleaned.

No, This balance valve needs the cold water to shift the valve to let in the hot water. If your valve is right when you first start to turn the valve you should get cold first and keep turning the valve counter clockwise and hot come out. If this is not the case your valve is backwards. If it is your lack of cold water is another problem. Jeff

I have not had any of those issues personally. I only have the cold water hooked up at the moment because my bathroom is set up in an odd way so hooking up the hot is a bit tricky....we'll get to that eventually :) But for now, just using the cold water feature, my husband had no problem installing and there is no issue with fit or length of bolt for us. I couldn't reccomend this product more highly. I hope this helps :) '

I think it's possible you have your plumbing hooked up wrong. Did you hook the cold water hose to your sink's hot water and your hot water line to the cold?That could be why you get cold water when you turn your valve toward the red hot water. Also, go to luxebidet.com and send them an email or call them. They will get you figured out ... they are wonderful.

No but if you turn down the pressure of either the cold or hot connection the water will go down and not as fast

I have the 40oz and 21oz (both coated), neither one gets cold to touch when I pour cold water in. After sitting for a while with Ice and water, the outside does feel a bit cooler then room temperature but never cold. It sounds like it may have a defect.

You might have had a rubber ring fall off and in the way of the the cold intake. Shut your water off and take the part out and see if any rubber rings fell off

I cannot confirm this, but the water at the faucett turns from cold to hot in about the same time as when I was using a tank heater. Hope this helps.

The water is hot even in cold climate. My basement is not heated and shower is on 2nd fl I don't have a problem. Realize that the cold water already in the pipe has to come out first so it takes a minute to expel that.

We had the same issue. Turned out it was a plumbing issue, not this device. The plumber has to balance hot & cold, to your preference. It took him less than 2 minutes to adjust it. Good luck!
