You lost me there, KHONDAHM. Guess what I was trying to say was that I still need to use the water heater, even during Hot weather, and that the tank gets direct sun most of the day.KHONDAHM wrote: So, it makes perfect sense that your water runs hot. You didn't state it, but it runs really cold during cold season after it cools overnight, then warms up considerably by noon, right?
Shade the tank and the temperature will fall to ambient.
The way some were talking, with the tank in the sun the water was too hot. With mine, if I need a cold shower, I just turn on the cold tap. But then again whats cold to me, others might think warm, like the wife, she just uses the cold except in December.
