I know it sounds strange, but my water heater seems to fail to fully heat the water once it initially gets hot. If I take a shower after not using any hot water for several hours, it doesn't get past lukewarm. Not cold, but definitely not hot. However, if I've recently run a few gallons of hot water (i.e. within the last hour or so) the shower is very hot for as long as I'd want to shower. It's a 30gal, nat gas, Hotpoint model #HG30T1A, approx 4.5yrs old. Anyone else experience this? Anything that can be adjusted to take care of this? Thanks, Andy
