Hello my cylinder is heated overnight by immersion element for about 4 hours plenty of time to reach hot and heat all the water. But before its used I feel the top of the cyl and its hot but the lower half is cold.
Id expect the element to heat all the water eventually, thus we get two approx 4minute showers.
Its an older tank, not foam covered.
I wonder if the previous owners (weve moved in 12mth ago) had a short element installed as an energy saver as there were just two of them?
Is there a leak so cold water is fed in slowly continuously?
anything else?
many thanks
