    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.

      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?

        Are you new to separate taps? I’m assuming you mean one hot one cold. I turn on hot halfway then turn on cold like a quarter of that. Then mess with the cold only from there Hope that helps!
