Regulating water temperature

We have a brand new (1 week) Big Horn. When we take a shower we have to have the hot water knob all the way on and the cold water barely on. Is this normal. It is like too much cold is coming into the system. Seems that they should be equal to have a good temperature for a shower. Any suggestions??

Steve, if you run the hot water by itself, does it get really really hot? I'm wondering if your hot water heater bypass/winterizing valve might be partially open.

Also check the outside shower to make sure both of the valves are turned off and not just turned off at the spray head.

We had a similar situation. Two techs spent 3 hrs trying to find the problem. After checking everything outside they finally came in to check the ground bar. All was good there too. As a last resort one tech pulled out the inside switch and a wire fell off the hot side. Secured the wire and all has been well since.
