Redwood will become famous soon enough
I would suspect a hot/cold cross connection allowing cold water to flow toward the hot side.

Similar to a faucet where the hot and cold are both turned on but the outlet is turned off.

This is also possible if there are single handle Moen or, Mixet valves involved.
