Periodically our water heater does not get the water very hot. Most of the time, the first shower of the morning is nice and hot even requiring some cold water to be added to the mix. Sometimes it is

Yes, a new water heater :-) Seriously, unless you've been renewing the anode rod, there's not much metal left at the bottom of the tank and it will start leaking soon. As for the temp problem, if it

It is 99% certain that you will end up replacing it. Possibly the thermostat is bad and the gas valve could be replaced, but at 15 years old, most plumbers would think it foolish not to replace it. d

I'd go with Jim's suggestion first, and make sure it's the water heater and not your shower valve (or mixing valve if you have one, I never have). Might be worth examining the burner in the heater,

This reminds me... I had a plumber swear to me that a gas water heater didn't have a sacrificial anode rod. Any truth to that? In any event, its leaking a tiny bit on the bottom somewhere, so I'll b

I have the same issue in my new house and will probably be replacing the heater in the next few months. One thing you can do to help the heaters is to periodically drain then to flush out sediment.

The Bradford-White units have them build into the cold (or is it the hot) water outlet. All - Change those anode rods every five years or so and the water heater will last a long time. Jack --Origin

I'll check the site as well, but if the anode is integrated into the water inlet, does that mean you really want threaded / flexible connections to the cold water supply to facilitate changing it? M

The anode, only a few models, is integral to the hot water nipple. Typically, it's a hex head. Once the pipe is removed from the nipple, the nipple unscrews just like any other nipple, but it has a
