either your hot water heater has been installed incorrectly or the thermostat has been set too low Sorry to butt in BUT there is NO THERMOSTAT on a hot water heater there is a AQUASTAT and sometimes the heater short cycles just to maintain the SET temperature

How do you flush a heater core?

Disconnect both heater hoses from the heater or the engine, whichever is easier. Fabricate fittings to attach a garden hose to one of the heater connections. I direct the other heater connection into a bucket. Turn on the garden hose gradually until all the way open. Flush for 30 seconds. Reverse heater connections and back flush another 30 seconds. Reinstall heater hoses, top off radiator coolant reservoir. Done.
