We have a new Rheem 30 gal short water heater. It only seems to put out about 10 gallons of hot water before it starts going cold,any suggestions......

If you need more assistance or do not understand please comment so we can assist you.



Your hot water heater:



• EverKleen™ self cleaning device

• Brass drain valve

• Temperature and pressure relief valve included

• Isolated tank design reduces conductive heat loss

• High efficiency resistored heating elements

• Anode rod equalizes aggressive water action

• Electric junction box located above heating

elements for easy installation

• Over-temperature protector cuts off power in

excess temperature situations

• Automatic thermostat keeps water at desired

temperature



Thermostat PN's

• Therm-O-Disc Upper Thermostat (max 150 degree) & High

Limit (170 degree) - Two element non-simultaneous 208,

240, 277, 480 volt

(PN) SP11698 (single)



• Therm-O-Disc Lower Thermostat (max 150 degrees)

simultaneous and non-simultaneous 208,240,277,480 volt

(PN) SP11695 (single)



Elements range from 3000W to 4500W and vary in part number by the size of the hole that they are installed in.



If there is anything you need or expect at least provide some useful feedback.



Thanks

I realize this is a NEW water heater. That is why I mentioned checking the Circuit Breaker. A partially tripped CB can cause the symptom you speak of. i.e running on 115V power vs 230V power so the recovery time will be longer and it will be slow to keep up with demand.



In all honesty if you really think that there is a problem with the operation of the NEW hot water heater I would make the warranty call to Rheem.
