Why would the water be cool? Unless the WH is broken it will be hot.


Unless you are using a "flash heater", once the hot water is used
up..the "make up time"..the time the hot water heater needs to reheat
the 25-60 gallons in it..is rather long.

Political Correctness

A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority and
rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media,
which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible
to pick up a turd by the clean end.
