Hello guys,

I have a problem that maybe some of you have already had, and can help me.

When using the kitchen faucet, my wife complained that the water was too hot, even in the position that she always used the mixer handle.

I went to check and realized that the water was really very hot regardless the tap handle position. I also verify that the hot water was returning through the cold water pipe.
I checked the filtered tap on the side and it was also coming out of hot water (supposedly it should only be cold).

Only after some time with the tap handle in the cold position did the water return to normal (cold), but it was enough to return to the intermediate position that the water overheated and the cold water pipe became hot again.

Any suggestion?

Thank you in advance.
