NOT ENOUGH HOT WATER (OR NO HOT WATER)
•
Is the electricity switched on?
Inspect the isolating switch marked "HOT
WATER" or "WATER HEATER" at the
switchboard and the isolating switch (if one is
installed) near the water heater and ensure
they are turned on.
Check the fuse or circuit breaker marked
"HOT WATER" or "WATER HEATER" at the
switchboard.
•
Are you using more hot water than you think?
Is one outlet using more hot water than you think? Very often it is not realised
the amount of hot water used.
Carefully review the family's hot water usage. Have a plumber fit a flow
control valve to each outlet to reduce water usage.
•
Relief valve running
Is the relief valve discharging too much water?

licensed electrical worker check and adjust the thermostat upwards to gain
additional hot water capacity.
