    I know this is a joke, but usually it’s caused by old cartridges. If you replace the valve cartridge then it will probably mix better. This is usually from old/bad seals. This is why new valves mix fine, but as the seals age, mixing performance gets worse.

    Pulling old cartridges can be a pain in the butt so probably best to call a plumber if you don’t like diy adventures.

      This advice only applies if you have inkjet showers, this isn’t an issue if you have a laser shower.

      My apartment is 1 year old.

      Contrast the houses around here which pre-date the Great War and tell me why their water works well and mine is this binary pain.

      They have two separate taps, though, but that shouldn’t matter. Right? Right?
