    Losing hot water capacity in the autumn
    Every year starting in the fall, we lose hot water capacity. My wife, for example, will fill the bathtub with water and the hot water will begin to run out. This problem goes on for 3 or 4 months--usually by late winter or early spring, we have plenty of hot water and we are fine until autumn again. Why is this happening and is there a solution?

    Is your hweater in an unheated area of the home? How far is the run from the heater to the bath?

    Hi Ralph...

    What is the heating source for the hot water? What is the fuel source? How old is the system?

    How do you heat your water? By a conventional water heater or a combination boiler? Back to you, Tom
    Sorry Mark! We posted the same question at the same time.
