I have an old 40 gal gas AO Smith Conservationist SubChamber WH model PGCS that doesn't put out enough hot water to last one 10 minute shower. I say old because it came with the house that I purchased 10 years ago. I have never replaced the anode (just found out about them on this site), but I do drain some of the water at least once or twice a year until the water comes out clear. From what I have read the new water heaters are not made as well as the older ones so I would like to try to fix my existing heater before buying a new one. Can anyone suggest what may be causing this issue, and maybe how to troubleshoot the problem.
Thanks - any advice is greatly appreciated,
Mitch
