I have a 10 year old 50 gallon Richmond gas water heater. Recently I have noticed that when I begin using hot water, like showering, the water is quite hot, but after a few minutes, to maintain the hot temperature, I have to keep advancing the temperature valve until finally reaching the point where it is in the full hot position. I have not found any debris in my screens, and I have drained the tank and I didn't see any debris there either. Is this the way a failed dip tube word act? Any other ideas?
