What should you do if the hot water supply is too low?

This problem could be due to some mineral build up or corrosion in your heater. Perhaps you should look into having the pipes flushed as this could help restore better supply. The mineral build up and corrosion could be clogging up the pipes, so water flow is reduced. Also ensure that the controls to the water pressure and the thermostat are turned up all the way. Sometimes the controls may be accidentally turned the other direction. Apart from this, check the water tank to see if it is under-capacity. If it is, then you need to get a bigger tank.

Hot Water | Low Water Supply

Seattle Water Heaters

Storage water heaters are by far the most common type of water heater in the U.S. today. Ranging in size from 20 to 80 gallons (or larger) and fueled by electricity, natural gas, propane, or oil, storage water heaters work by heating up water in an insulated tank. When you turn on the hot water tap, hot water is pulled out of the top of the water heater and cold water flows into the bottom to replace it. Because heat is lost through the walls of the storage tank (this is called standby heat loss), energy is consumed even when no hot water is being used. New energy-efficient storage water heaters contain higher levels of insulation around the tank, substantially reducing standby heat loss.
