Hi everyone. About 5 weeks ago, we started losing our hot water output. 5 minutes and it was gone, but back again a few hours later. I assumed one of the elements died (electric heater), but that turned out to not be the case. The plumber recommended having an electrician check the wiring and voltage. That checked out ok (240 volts).
Another plumber came out to check it out, and he said our pressure reduction valve was faulty. At the same time we had the hot water troubles, our water pressure jumped up about 200%. I told the first plumber this, but he didn't think it was a big deal. We had a new PRV intalled, but still have hot water issues. He said that our last step would be to get the dip tube checked out. Does anyone have any familiarity with this, and does this sound like a viable cause of our troubles? TIA for any help!
