[QUOTE="DishDick, post: 873584, member: 216974"] Just a couple of thoughts. We had problems here with water heating - Solar heating coupled to immersion heater for evening heating. We stopped getting hot water, so I took out the immersion heater to check it (on these the immersion heater is at the bottom of the tank and the tank is on the roof so no problem with the water coming out. The immersion heater element was eaten away and it had been incased in about two feet of sludge that had built up over the years. Maybe you can get a plumber in to get your tank serviced (emptied, cleaned out and a new element). Also if you are in a hard water area think about having a cheap water softener fitted to the inlet of your tank. [/QUOTE]
