Why does hot shower water run for a certain period of time then get gradually colder?
It seems like it should just suddenly get cold all at once when the hot runs out.
The water from the water heater is all the same temp. If I set my faucet where I want it, then essentially I'm setting the hot/cold at some ratio. It seems it should cintinue at that same ratio with the hot and cold water at the same temp until the hot runs out, then suddenly I should get all cold.
However, instead it goes for awhile then gradually gets colder.
Thoughts?
