I have a delta faucet in my shower. It's a single valve style. Turning the valve counterclockwise, the water starts out being cold and the farther you rotate it, the water gets hotter. I had an issue with it when we first came home from snowbirding for almost 6 months. We were unable to cool the water. It was for the most part hot all the time. After doing a bunch of research, I found that Delta was having issues with this model (1400 series pre 2006). I also found that Delta has a lifetime warrantee. I contacted them and they sent me a new cartridge assembly at no cost. I just replaced it and now it works fine the way it's suppose to. That cartridge is about a $40.00 item. Now that's good service. You may pay a little more for a Delta faucet but in the long run, it may be worth it IMHO.
