    Bathtub water heaters?
    Hi,
    I have a 6 foot by 6 foot corner jecoozi tub in my bathroom.I have kohler electronic controls... the problem is when I am filling the tub the temp of the water drops after a few minutes.this in turn causes the tub electronics to shut the water to the tub...
    OK than,my heating system is gas and new (97 percent eff)... I have a separate hw tank..
    If my hw tank is to small,do I replace it?and if so,will that work?
    Or do I need some type of separate gas hw heater only for that tub?if so,will that work and what do I need to buy?
    Please help??
    Thanks,

    Steve. Don't post your email for all the spammers to see! Does the water surface measure 6X6 or is it 6X6 along the walls? Makes a big difference in the volume. What size it the HW heater servicing the tub? You could be low on volume or have a broken dip tube. My tub is 5X5 along the wall, serviced by a 50 Gal electric BUT, there is a heater inline with the pump. Please tell us more.
