I would like to lower the temperature of my water heater. I put it all the way on the low side, in fact, it says "Vacation" when set on the lowest setting.
Two days later, I still get VERY hot water on this lowest setting. I ran it full blast for six full minutes, and the water was so hot that I couldn't stand under it. I ran it for three more minutes, and the water was still hot, but bearable. So, that is nine solid minutes of very hot water.
I don't know how to compare this to the hottest setting, but this doesn't seem right to me.
Any ideas why I can't get my water heater to a lower temperature setting ?
Thanks !!
