Default Run out of Hot water quickly: Hot water tank defective?


wrote in message
oups.com...
I have my hot water tank set to medium. I have not change the
setting, but it seams we are getting less and less hot water every day.
We are to the point where I don't have enough to fill my tub for a
hot bath. I think the tank is about 8 years old give or take a year.
Any idea?


Could be as simple as a 4$ dip tube. Pull off the cold water feed and remove
the tube and check it, should be about 3/4 the length of the tank.
