I've been having the same problem - warm/hot water in my cold taps when I first turn it on, and also lack of hot water; it's kinda cold. So I went down into the basement, and felt the temp. of the various pipes. The cold pipes where warm, so I turned on the cold at my utility sink, and the pipes cooled off. Then I could feel them warming up again - but the heat wasn't coming from my hwt, but from the cold pipe on my shower connection. So what I suspect is that the water mixer on my shower. Hears what I think is happening; hot water is leaking thru the temp. mixer on the shower valve, even when it's off. It's the only explanation I can come up with, but I have no idea as to how these single value hot/cold mixers work, so I don't know HOW it's happening. Anyone care to explain?
