hot water heater issue

"up" is usually to the left, or counter clockwise.

You could also upgrade, and get a cold water heater, which is designed to turn cold water into hot water.

I took the water tempurature this morning with my instant read thermometer (for barbeque). It was around 90?. I upped the temp on the water heater to "C" and now it's 140. So I will play with it until it's 120. Thanks for the advise for me to actually see what temperature it's at and adjust from there.

Good job, too cool can breed nasty bugs like Legionnaire's so this is not only a comfort issue.

I dunno why they don't install a bung on the outlet for a temp. gauge that would make issues like this much more evident; e.g. sorting out without any doubt whether a tenant has a valid complaint or not. If I ever replace my WH I may be tempted to do just that. And a pressure gauge as well so I can see if I'm getting too many spikes (I have a gauge, but it fits on a spigot, so I'd be afraid to leave it on all the time... the obvious place to put it is on the WH drain, and I'd be afraid of kicking it off and making a mess) I don't think this would be too expensive, might add what, $20 to the cost of a WH installation?

You may be willing to pay $20, but the typical consumer is looking for the lowest price an any cost. Pennies count in manufacturing. I'd guess that

99% of consumers don't give a damn and would never look at the temperature.

True, if the water IS hot...you don't have to heat it!

You want me to post proof so you can learn, well I dont know how to post links and im not your teacher. You want to know of only ONE that is 55 EF, where 45c of every dollar is wasted. Bradford Whites regular Ng lineup of about 70 has 3-THREE that are 55 EF and under. Their highest is 63 EF. Now, thats just one company, just one you can google. I bet there are 100 of 55 EF sold, but you prove me wrong, and you prove BradfordWhites own ratings are false. Just type in your search bar Bradford White Energy Factor, that is more help than you need. I never said EF =3D AFUE, I said you dont know either, and you dont know EF or you wouldnt say what you do. What I say I get from ratings, its not up to me to prove it, its up to you to post a link I am wrong. If I knew how to post links I would.

Dont worry idiot. No one in their right mind would listen to you, much less learn from you. Only thing learned from you is how to be a tight ass dipshit. And your still quoting the EF's like they are dollars. You're an idiot. Its not the same as AFUE's you dork. Do us all a favor and just shoot yourself now you rambling idiot. That and the fact that you dont know how to post a link is just funny beyond belief. How did you even learn how to turn the computer on or did your mommy show you that? Bubba

No, I understand EF's and AFUE's just fine. YOU seem to be the dipwad that seems to thing those numbers equate to dollars used. Here's a quarter. Go buy yourself some bubble gum "Forest". Bubba
