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....- Hide quoted text -

Can anyone tell me if a GAS hot water heater has (or is supposed to
have) this drip tube as welll!???
