How many gallons / litres is your home water heater?
We live in a suburban 4 bedroom detached home. I find that after my wife and kid shower, I’m stuck showering in cold water.
Are they using too much water or is my water heater just not big enough?
Edit: not my photo. We currently have a 50gal tank.
Looks like a standard 40gal, but I can’t say for sure without reading the label. In the end, if it doesn’t meet your needs, that’s mostly what matters. But I wouldn’t expect three people to be able to shower one after the other unless they were pretty quick at it, so it may be that others have different expectations.
Really? A home water heater doesn’t do 3 showers back to back to back? For the record that’s just a stock photo. We actually have a 50Gal. I just feel like when I was a kid growing up at my parents house, our heater could easily handle 7-8 showers in a row when we had relatives staying with us. Thanks for the reply!
Is it electeic or gas? Have you flushed it recently? What is the temperature set to? Does the hot water have a smell? It may simply be time to replace it. They dont last forever.
