I have 2 issues going on with my hot water. I suppose they are related, but don't know for sure.
First, it takes an unusually long time for the hot water to begin to flow. Didn't use to be this way, but now when the HW is cut on at the faucets (not as bad in the shower, I assume because more water is flowing and thus takes less time) cold water is all we get for a minute or so and then it gets warm to hot.
Second problem is that we used to be able to have 2-4 people shower comfortably and now the second user can barely make it through before the water gets cold. You have to have the faucet set all the way to hot just to have a lukewarm shower towards the end.
Any ideas on what's going on and how I can fix this without having to place a service call? Thanks in advance for any and all help.
