All, these forums are great, thank you in advance for any thoughts you may have.
I just replaced my 10 year old gas water heater. The old tank was 40 gallons. The new one is 50 gallons. I have the heat setting on the second highest option yet the hot water runs out quicker than my old tank (i.e., the hot water would last for 3 consecutive showers and now seems to get cold only after 2). The tank was purchased from Home Depot (I believe a GE brand).
Any thoughts (I'm not sure what other info may be relevant) as to the cause? My fear is that the installation may not have been up to par.
Thanks.
