A walk in tub holds over 55 gals of water (with an average size body in the tub). A 40 gal. water heater will deliver 28 gals. of water before it has to recover. You can do two things. You can buy a larger heater - 65 to 75 gals. These get pretty big and expensive. If you already have a good 40 gal. heater in your home, buy a second one and run them in tandem, meaning that the second water heater flows into the first one, which is the one supplying the water to its destination. By doing this, when the hot water starts to drain from the first, instead of the water heater filling with cold water that has to first be heated, the second water heater is delivering hot water instead. 40 gal. heaters are relatively cheap. That is the way I would go.

How do you fix the heater coil for a 2000 Chevy s10 blazer?

If the heater core is plugged you can try flushing it out. Disconnect the two heater hoses from the engine, connect a garden hose to either hose leading to the heater and gently turn on the water, gradually open water valve all the way until water runs clear then switch water hose to opposite heater hose and repeat. If the heater core is leaking and needs replacement I would strongly suggest purchasing a shop manual to walk you through the job of replacing the heater core. This is not a simple job.
