Ryland,
Thank you for your post. I did try to trace the pipes and look for leaks, but did not locate anything. I can hear water running near the wash machine when I first turn it on, but after a time nothing is heard.
I will say that this is a 50 gallon tank and when I turn it on for one hour only, the water isn't much more than luke warm. With one hour of heating, I have to take quick showers or it turns cold. Someone told me that it should take no more than two hours to fully heat a tank and I see that a post was made earlier from someone who is able to heat their water in 20 minutes with their new water heater.
At two hours of heating, it's hot but completely runs out of hot water if the bath tub is filled. I wonder how many gallons of water a bath tub takes?
