    What brand showerbody do you have?

    Do you have a shower head with an integral stop (shut off) acting as a mixing valve?

    Do you have check valves on BOTH the hot and cold water lines for your washing machine?

    Did your plumber know to install a heat sink on the Cold water supply to your heater?

    Did you replace both elememts if applicable? and the list goes on
