Powers HydroGuards comes in several different series. Which model do your have.. as advice would be different if your series uses a balance spool vs a gas motor. Hydroguard, is a anti scalding/pressure balancing system. Normally when the water pressure drops on the cold side, the hot water will drop too and vise versa. You may have problems with supply temp and pressure or you may have a dirty valve that needs attention. Once the handle and faceplate are remove you will see the body of the valve. It will contain the Series, Model and Serial number information. Powers, sells kits.. rather than parts. Once again, all based on the Series, model and serial number of your showervalve. The older equipments uses alot of brass. Soaking in white vinegar, those internal parts after removal may resolve the problem or using one of many kits available. Some Powers valves have check stops with screens that can clog too. Know your Series, Model and Serial Number. Best Wishes

Amen Jimmy! And then there was the Biltmore Series 900 models 1-thru 9. Much is determined by the shape of the handle and design of the faceplate. And the 400 and 410 Series. You gotta love those hydroguards. Best Wishes
