    I have a hard time understanding mechanical tasks. After watching this video one time I went to my attic and adjusted my water temperature. This is the most useful video I have found on youtube for accomplishing a task quickly!

    This is soo helpful. I am a new home owner and I don’t have money to pay for every little task that needs to be done in my home. I called the manufacturer for help, but since the water heater is out of warranty they told me to call a plumber. I consulted my UA-cam plumber instead thank you!

    Thank you so much. I had been living with mediocre showers for 4 years now. I wanted hotter showers but I didn’t think that I could do it myself. I certainly didn’t want to hire someone to do it. I decided to see if UA-cam had any videos on it, and low and behold there was your video. It was the fist one that I watched and the only one that I needed. It took all of 5 minutes and now I have hot showers again. God bless you

    As a Home Inspector of 22 years thanks for the clear instructions. Just want to bring to your attention The Federal Pacific panel can start house fires and the breakers may fail. - Should be replaces. Also the P/T pipe is missing on the water heater and is a major safety issue.

    Thanks! The maintenance man at my apartment is very sweet but yesterday he installed a new tub faucet. He instructed me on how to use it, left is hot, right is cold, then he went on to lecture me about how I needed to be careful that I didn’t scald myself. Y’all, I’m 46. Anyway, he mentioned he thought my water was too hot. Before I could tell him I liked it that way, he cut me off and started talking about something else. Unbeknownst to me, he turned it down before he left. Now, my water is little more than lukewarm.

    Can't thank you enough for this video! Nearly 5 years ago I moved into a condo with this same water heater. Was never happy with the not quite hot enough water, but didn't have a clue how to adjust it, with no visible temperature control.
    I flipped off the circuit breakers, & it took me all but 5 minutes to adjust it. I feel like I have a new hot water heater!

Yeah, it is unnecessary step, but the one compared to directions on let`s say a condom package: "use with care, as there is %0.1 chance of failure, if not used properly. Shit happens! Well, in the end I have turned it off as well, just in case. Back in Poland we used to say"God protects the protected ones"("Strzeżonego Pan Bóg strzeże".It`s all about common sense:)
