Hello everyone.
Just to give you a background. I moved into this new Apartment here in East orange NJ back in January. It all looked nice and is not bad, so far.
The only thing is the duration on the water temperature.
If anyone here is like me, I like to take along showers. 30 minutes or more.
Each apartment in the building has a 40 Gallon heater.
After 30 minutes, the water goes completely cold. I was told this is normal, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
It's an AO Smith heater. I would like to know is this true?
Also the pressure for the hot water IN THE TUB, when turned to the max is significantly decreased (like a lil stream). I was also told there is nothing that can be done, and that everything is controlled by the water heater from the Super.
Some other tenants are having the same issues, and many more. Some peple have full pressure, others don't. The super told me, maybe because of the floor they are on...lol
Do I have any leg room here, or must I just move?
I need knowledge from someone who knows about Water Heaters and how the operate.
Is there a main control somewhere that can be set for the entire building?
Thanks,
JE
