Mad Plumber
Mad Skills
When I first turn on my cold water in the
morning it comes out very warm and after 15 to 30 seconds it gets
cold. My thermostats are set 140 for the top and 142 for the
bottom. I have a well and the pump is set to come on at 40 lbs and
cut out at 60 lbs and my pressure tank has 38 lbs of air. I also
run out of hot water if I take a 12 minute shower. It did not used to
run out that soon. I replaced the cal rods in the tank and checked
the fill pipe. (It goes almost to the bottom of the tank). I have a 40gal tank with electric heat. . There is no sediment in the tank. I am 83 years old and am a retired dentist and have done all
my own plumbing and electrical for 50 years. I am stumped. HELP!!!
