    30 gallon hot water heater
    How long should a shower last with a 30 gallon hot water heater??

    The hot water heater is set on the highest HOT setting, and I only get a 5 minute shower, (I timed it). Is this normal??

    Does the hot water heater need to be replaced or is there something else that can be done? Thank you.
