    What a wonderful video. No more cold showers. As an emergency room PA I am lately taking several showers daily to keep my infant twins safe from the covid virus that I'm sure gets all over me ( Ive seen a minimum of 10 covid patients per shift these past three weeks!) and I've been stuck taking cold showers. My quality of life has just improved immensely. Thanks! Stay safe.

    Thanks for the quick reference - I just installed a replacement cartridge for the same Delta unit. My wife wasn't to happy about her Luke warm shower this morning. NOTE - the temp adjustment knob for replacement parts are a single piece that you now pull out from the knob, turn, and let reengage making it a bit easier. Thanks again!

    Thank you! I am a single mother of 3 kids and two "trusted handy men" recommended by friends gave me outrageous prices to fix the fact that only cold water was coming out of my kids' shower with one even saying it was the rough in and that tiles would need to be removed to fix it. I went with my gut and found your video. I adjusted the temperature in less than 10 minutes, including having to adjust it twice, without any issues. This just saved me so much time, trouble, and money. Thank you again!

      dianna labib That's the problem with some so called "handy man" services. In reality, since their not specialized, they should be cheaper. I never charge anyone who asks for my assistance anyway. Being able to help is payment enough. BTW, good job!!!

      Many mechanics and tradesmen and tradeswomen and scientists and doctors are autistic, and thus a higher percentage of autistic people tend toward having no conscience. I'm autistic but am in the middle. I don't like to lie, cheat or steal, or take advantage of people. And there are autistic people like me too. But just be aware, you can find amazing low cost mechanics and such, if you keep looking. And the good ones will make deals with you.

  • @gregsimpson621
    @gregsimpson621 7 років тому

    Thank you as this video helped! I noticed you turned the plastic set temperature back as your set screw wouldn't have fit if turning it the full 30 degrees. It doesn't take much adjustment. My set screw required a torx screwdriver (6 sided). Also I wouldn't recommend using any power tools to remove or tighten the screws. Otherwise people accidentally over tighten and can break or crack the on/off knob quite easily. But your video allowed me to adjust my shower easily, all in 5 minutes so thank you very much!!!

    if your like me and the set screw wont budge I was able to pop out the plastic enough to re position to its previous place "3 o clock"" which restored normal hot water, my knob must have backed out over time allowing the plastic to lose its place.

    First thanks for this video. It really helped me understand what needed to be done (I had sort of figured it out on my own but was afraid I'd break something until you verified what I was trying was correct). One problem I ran into was the inner gear (the one that you need to turn clockwise for hotter) only seems to be able to be inserted into specific locations. I couldn't spot any kind of guide that would prevent me from just inserting it in any position, but it just wouldn't go into other than one or two specific locations.

    Although, I had to cringe though, when you brought out the drill to loosen the screw.
    That's a 5% fine on my crew! I try to impress upon them that in instances like this, a small machine screw, or installing door hardware, it's best to use hand tools. Less chance of an aggressive drill, string out the heads.
    When installing locks you have to get it right the first time. If you strip one of those cheap brass screwed, you're
    well, ...you know.
