I checked the water heater and the cold is connected to cold and hot
to hot, so unless it was manufactured wrong, that is not the problem.
I would think the service guy would have thought of the dip tube, but
maybe not.

I am glad to know though, that moving it is a waste of time. I guess
I'll be checking on new WH.

Before you bother with a new water heater, try to find out if you still have
a dip tube. Yours may have been made during the time that dip tubes
disintegrated due to a change in the formula for the plastic. �Dip tube =
$10, water heater = $200 plus.

$200?? Damn. Where you getting them.
50 gal gas is almost double that here.
Then its gotta be installed.

if you ever run out of hot water spend a little more and buy a high
output tank. most tanks around 30,000 BTU .... high BTU about 75,000
BTUs and the tanks are better made, ..........

doubles the amount of hot water
