    TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
    HOT - Is a thermostat setting of approximately 120° F,
    Which will supply hot water at the most?
    Economical temperatures..
    A - Is a thermostat setting of approximately 130° F.
    B - Is a thermostat setting of approximately 140° F.
    C - Is a thermostat setting of approximately 150° F.
    VERY HOT - Is a thermostat setting of approximately 160° F.
    It is recommended that the dial be set lower
    When ever possible.

    Just took a 15 minute shower, and the water temp remained constant the whole time, no adjusting up as before. I believe the t-stat setting did the trick. Thanks Milo & John for troubleshooting this and coming up with the correct diagnosis. You guys are great!
