hot water anyone?

The little things...we figured out what the problem was with the hot water--we hadn't left it on long enough. This after posting and reading info, finding out all sorts of information about by-pass valves and reading the owners manual and so forth. And they still don't tell you the important things like--how long does it need to heat up? do you leave it on all the time?

We were turning it on and off until Greg had an unfortionate experience with the water turning cold in the middle of his shower in which Phoebe had jumped in with him. The water turned cold, she started screaming and Greg was left with a screaming baby covered in soap, covered in soap himself.

Besides, an Escapees forum member informed me that using the water heater full time costs about $2-3 more every two months or so. Not worth cold showers.

We can take nice hot showers now!
