Default Water Heater?

If my electric water heater is not providing adequate hot water for a
20 minute shower anymore is it time for total replacement or just
replacing the thermostat? TIA, Dan


You are taking a "Hollywood Shower." Have you considered the alternative of
the "Navy Shower?"

1. Turn on shower, get wet all over.
2. Turn off shower.
3. Lather and scrub.
4. Turn on shower, rinse.
5. Turn off shower.

Total resources: Less than 3 gallons of water in only two minutes.

It's for the children.


I agree it's a good idea, but with the heat set to 67 degrees, it's too
damn cold to stand in the shower soaping oneself without the hot water
running. (some insulation behind the walls might be nice...)
