Arrived on-site for a plumbing maintenance. Started by flushing the heater, and while flushing, I looked around the house. The customer mentioned two issues: the sediment filter on the footer needing replacement, and that the hot water in the shower gets cold after a few minutes. I inspected the shower and found that the pressure balancer was faulty. I shut off the water, removed the shower trim and handle, and took out the cartridge to access the pressure balancer. After confirming the brand, I reassembled everything. However, when I turned the water back on, it started leaking. The customer approved the replacement of the pressure balancer. I went to get the necessary parts, returned, and installed the new pressure balancer according to the manufacturer’s specifications. As of ticket completion, no leaks were found. I cleaned up the work area and disposed of all work-related materials. Thank you for choosing Vito. Work is warrantied for 40 days.
