Hot Water tap on bathtub not working?
Question:Our jacuzzi tub has a hot and cold tap. Cold tap works great, but cannot get any water, hot or cold, to come out when the hot tap is turned on. I took off the knob and the plastic dial underneath with the grooves turns without a problem. I get a tiny trickle at best. I dont have access (as far as I know) to any of the pipes via the jacuzzi inside.
Any help is appreciated.
Answers:
did this just start or has it been a problem since installation?
You will need to remove the stem from the hot water side (after turning off the water supply) and see if perhaps a washer came off and is blocking the pipe.
Sorry, I don't know anything about Jacuzzis.
But, where does it get its hot water from (when it gets hot water)?
Does it have its own dedicated water heater?
Or does it share the house's water heater?
In either event, I would go to the source of hot water and see if there is a valve that has been turned down.
See if you can track the hot water feed; maybe discover a crushed line?
It may also be that mineral deposits have built up within either the heater or the piping.
