Dip tube?

Would that fail right away? The heater is only 2 weeks old...
Definitely hooked
up right! :-)

No, not right away. HOwever, was it even installed? It should be in the
cold water side; it carries incoming cold water all the way to the bottom.
It is not usually something that is installed at the factory. If it is
gone, the hot water at the top (heat rises) mixes with the incoming cold
water, providing exactly the problem you describe. A dip tube costs $10 or
so.

The Dip tube isn't installed by default?? You gotta be kidding me...
That would do it....
