Plumbers?

[Seriak]

I have a gas hot water tank that runs out of hot water a lot quicker than usual. The only thing I can research is a possible broken dip tube. I was going to check that this weekend, but unlike the US, Homedepot and Rona don't seem to carry them here. Anyone know where I can find one in Calgary or have another idea why I run out of water so quickly.

Broken dipstick is the most likely answer. The box stores should stick them. Maybe try at a plumbing distributor if you can't find them.

Could also be sediment or calcification build up in the tank itself.

I flushed the tank the other day and nothing really came out. Don't think it's sediment!

Canadian tire stocks them

Hmm don't see anything online. Maybe I will just have to go into the store.

How old is the tank?
