What can cause warm water (97-98 degrees to come out of the faucets on the outside of my home in Corpus Christ

Question

I have three (3) outside faucets. One facing North, just outside the Kitchen wall, another facing East, outside the front of the house, and the other facing West, on the outside Wall of the two bathrooms. The one facinig West is where warm water is coming out of. I recently remodeled, but did not touch the plumbing other than installing new fixtures, did not mess with the plumbing set up. I have noticed the inside faucet on a shower slightly dripping. Could this be causing warm water to leak into the cold water line. I installed a new water heater, along with a anti syphon valve. I checked the cold line there and it is cold. Thanks, Ken Aiken

Answer 1

Do you run the water long enough to get cold, its hot down there- that temp is not hot enough for a direct hot water line- so its mixing someplace, and chances are its in one of the new Fixtures perhaps a shower diverter is back feeding that cold water line. Sometime dirt ,solder or some other debri gets trapped in there and can cause that. Or possilby a washer or seat is leaking.

Answer 2

I'm sure that the leaking shower has nothing to do with a cross over in the plumbing...probably just a bad valve seating.

Most houses that have outside taps have the cold water supply pipe running very close to the sole plate of the foundation. This would allow the pipes to warm considerably during the day time sun.

You didnt mention how long the water runs warm....let it run for a couple of minutes to see if the water temp cools at all.

If it doesnt, maybe the cold and hot supply lines at the water heater got crossed.

Answer 3

If the warm water is continuous, perhaps that faucet is tied into a hot water line.

If the water gets cool after 20 to 180 seconds, maybe the line is too close to something warm/hot and it takes a while for the warm water to clear out.

Answer 4

The sun warms the pipes in the ground thereby warming the water. My outside faucets have very cold (well water) on the north and east sides, and warm on the south and west. And water from any hose outside will burn for the same reason. If your water pipes are not buried deep, this may be the reason.

Answer 5

It is quite possible that the sun shining on your home is warming the water. Try running the water on that faucet for a bit and see if it doesn't go back to the normal temperature.

hi Lioness, i attempted to discover "objectified" and "objectification" interior the dictionary and no excitement. nicely, i'm no longer precisely particular I understand your queston, yet think of i could have an thought. besides, have you ever heard of the "bell curve"? that's a curve this is formed like a bell and does a reliable interest of representing information. As for elegance, at one end of the curve we've the least beautiful and on the different end the main. a similar could be real for earnings ... poorest on one edge and richest on the different. interior the process the bell we've each and all of the common human beings. i think of what you're asserting is real, yet basically basically a actuality of existence. we've the whole spectrum for the two genders.
