I’m in hot water, or more to the point, I’m sometimes not…
When the engine has been running for an hour or so and everything’s got nicely warm (engine is under the galley island where the sinks are) the mixer tap in the galley ceases to provide any water when turned to ‘hot’. Cold works fine, as do both hot and cold in both heads. After a period of cooling, everything returns to normal. It hasn’t always done this so something’s changed recently. I can find no evidence of anything unusual in the piping and as I’m currently on passage, I don’t want to start dismantling things just at the moment. Has anyone else come across something like this? Any suggestions as to cause and solution would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies in advance if I don’t acknowledge any suggestions in timely fashion, I’m offshore with limited connectivity. Many thanks.
