I was just about to post this. I read about it on Facebook, I think. In that case, the valves were wide open but the cutoff switch on the shower head was engaged.]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2017 10:59:37 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10187&PID=95326#95326 Water Heater only getting warm : Check to make sure the outside... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10187&PID=95244#95244 Author: jimandclare

Are you using the electric element or the gas? Suggest using the gas (if not already) to see if desired temp is achieved. If water gets hot then a pretty good chance that your element is shot. If water is still Luke warm, then the cold water side is mixing with it somewhere. Most likely a valve.
Hope that helps.

Sounds like to valve isn't quite turned all the way or you might have blown the water heater elemoent. Can get them at Lowes pretty cheap.]]> Mon, 19 Jun 2017 11:40:23 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10187&PID=95225#95225 Water Heater only getting warm : yup.. it has worked since we de-winterized... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10187&PID=95224#95224 Author: troutpodder

Hey All,

Enroute to Alaska with the POD. Its already a great trip. Question. Our hot water heather does not seem to be heating the water to as warm of a temp as is used to do. We have been letting it run for 30-45 minutes and it only comes out lukewarm whereas in the past it came out hot to the touch ... ideas?
