My parents have a new electric 55 gallon hot water heater made by State Select (I think). The house has well water and the temp of the water is normal about 45*F. Everyone in the house likes long hot hot showers. When I installed it I only turned up the thermostats a little.
When we were talking about hoe little cold water they were mixing in with the hot and they were running out of hot water to soon. I told them I needed to turn up the thermostat but he thinks it would cost more. I’m thinking you should have about ¾ hot to ¼ cold for a shower but right now there just barley cracking the cold.
What are the opinions or is there a theory about this. I am aware about getting burnt of the hot water heater.
