how many gallons is your hot water tank? 40? 50?
also, how many people do you have in your household.
we just got a 40 gallon tank with 4 people (2 are babies). we were told the standard rule of thumb is 10 gallons per person and that's what 2 companies recommended. well, we're running out of hot water!!
now i'm so worried we got the wrong thing

we have a 30 gallon. we were having problems also and we raised the temperature. Now are showers are hotter and the faucets are hotter. Of course you have to be careful with using the hot water, especially with babies. GL!

Re: how many gallons is your hot water tank?
75, but we also have a large jacuzzi tub in the one bathroom. We're also going to eventually have two teenagers in the house, so we're going to use a LOT of water....   
When this one goes, I'm going to look into the on-demand water heaters.
