I have 1.5 baths and every morning after my daughter takes her shower it's my turn and I'm getting in to cold water. This just started about a year or so ago. I've turned up my hot water heater to max that won't cause any problems but I'm still taking a practically cold shower every morning.

How big is your water heater ? How far away is it from the shower ? What kind/type/brand of shower head do you have ? Does it get very cold in your area ?

I just took a shower I left the water running about 5min and still hot, when I just went in the shower another 5mins the hot water was just cold nor warm and the boiler is outside the house, inside a storage like 10'ft of the house.

HI Rene...

Please start your own question as a new thread back at the main plumbing page, OK?

Give us more information, like is this a storage tank system with boiler or is this a tankless coil attached to a boiler? More info. Gets a better answer... ;)

Thanks... Mark
