How many minutes will 40 gallons of hot water last in a shower?
That depends on both how quickly water flows out of the shower head (gallons per minute) and how hot the water is (ratio of cold water to hot water). Also depends on the recovery rate of the water heater. As you use up the hot water, the water heater is making new hot water, but not usually as fast as you are using it. A high recovery rate will extend the time you have hot water.
Why does the storage tank run out of hot water when showering and what can you do to sort out this problem?
Many variables need to be supplied here. Size of water heater, Gallons per minute of shower head and volume of water being used. If the water heater is small, you only have 30 gallons of hot water available. If you have a 6 GPM shower head, that is only enough for about a 5 minute shower. If you have had the water heater checked out to make sure the heating element (if electric) isn't corroded or caked with calcium or making a lot of noise (boiling sounds) if it is gas, you can increase the temperature setting on the water heater. This will let you use more cold water and increase your shower duration. Changing your shower head to a low flow type will also increase you soak time. Another thing to consider is the distance of the shower from the water heater. If the pipes have to travel some distance in an uninsulated space, this will lower water temperature as it travels through the pipes. Hope this helped.
