Ok...I had a thread going earlier about changing my dip tube. I finally did it and the old one was ok. Installed new DT anyway.Thanks for your help on that one.

Anyway...I have now changed every component on my tank. Both new elements, verified 19 amps across each element when in operation, both new thermostats and a new dip tube. Also drained all the sediment from my tank. But my HW seems to still run out after 10 min or so in shower. It's a 50 gal dual element electric HW tank.
I'm dumbfounded. What else could it be? It's an 8 year old tank.
Thanks guys.
 
How many gallons per minute does your shower flow ?

What temp do you like your shower ?

What’s your cold water temp ?

What temp is your hot water ?
