[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you pay $600 to have it serviced because you have hard water instead of getting a water softener?  Has no one suggested this?

For teenagers, regardless of your water heater, this works best.  After enough time has passed, go down to the basement to where your water heater sits and slowly, turn the valve for the water line that goes into the heater, choking off the hot water supply.  The kid will adjust the water to maintain the temp but it's a warning of what is to come.  Close it off a bit more and keep closing it until they turn off the water.  Don't be cruel, give them time to rinse the shampoo out of their hair, or whatever they might be doing.

When the kid complains that the hot water just doesn't last, be sympathetic and suggest they plan better before taking a shower and maybe promise to look into it.  This absolutely works and it's fun.  Unlimited hot water is a recipe for a high energy bill with a teenager.  it has to be limited.[/quote]

Why not just tell the kids to take baths instead of hour long showers? [/quote]

Seemed like a reasonable suggestion.   Who doesn't love a long soak?
