Alternating hot and cold shower February 16, 2014, 06:08:14 pm Yahoo Message Number: 145056When taking a shower in my 1992 TK, when the water pump is on, all the water is cold no matter how I have the faucet. When the water pump goes off, all the water turns scalding hot.Any ideas??Also, does anyone know what brand the faucets are?Thanks,John
Re: Alternating hot and cold shower Reply #1 – February 16, 2014, 08:51:46 pm Yahoo Message Number: 145057Are you saying that the pump is cycling, and when it is on (higher pressure) the water is cold, and when it is off (lower pressure) the water is hot? If so, I would say you have a pressure - sensitive restriction in the hot water line. Do you get this behavior at the bath sink? at the kitchen faucet?Steve

Possibly a kinked or crimped hose, or some sort of blockage.Steve
