Why does cold water have the same pressure as hot water?
Both cold water and hot water passing through your hot water system must have the same pressure. A discrepancy in the two flow rates may be due to hot water system problems or issues with your home’s entire water supply system.
Why does cold water not come out of my faucet?
If you do not hear water coming into the tank (and incoming cold water pipe will get colder) or have water coming of the hot faucet then a flow blockage is occurring somewhere. Course, if the existing “hot” flow equals the cold then this is not a blockage issue. If the above does not help track it down, then you need a Plumber.
Why is cold water coming out of my hot water heater?
Assuming no one has shut down the temperature adjustment on the heater or partly shut down a valve, and that you have cold water coming out fine on cold faucet setting, and that the outgoing pipe from the heater stays warm when water is flowing from a hot faucet, then sounds like a blockage in the heater.
What does it mean when your hot water pressure is low?
General low water pressure: It is possible for the entire house to experience a sharp drop in lower pressure. In such cases, both the cold and hot water supplies flow reluctantly. The fix is usually from the main water supply entering your home.

Why is there no pressure at my hot water faucets?
If you have good water flow (“pressure”) at hot water faucets, but it’s cold, then the water supply piping is not blocked and the problem is in the water heater itself, or in a mixing valve. If you have weak or no water flow at hot water faucets then the water heater cold water inlet or hot water outlet…
How does a hot and cold water valve work?
The valve will have two solenoids that operate inlets for both the hot and cold water supply. The timer or electronic control, water temperature cycle selector and the water level pressure switch control the valve.
