3rd floor unit hot water problems

[Walid Zaibak]

Hey guys, a week or so ago I had a small flood at a property of mine in the office above the utility room. A sink had improper pipes put in with no shutoffs. Water started seeping down into the utility room until I got there and turned it off. I got a plumber to fix everything. I also got an HVAC guy to come replace a part on the hot water tank that got wet and fried. Everything seems fine for my other tenants but this guy tells me that he cranks the water all the way to hot and it's barely warm. I know the heater temp is fine since I just set it and everyone else is fine. I'm really not sure what's going on. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Thanks,
Walid

I would run dual 40gal gas units. This should be able to handle the units. 200L is about 50 Gal and unless it is a commercial unit I dont think it is big enough. You should check with your local plumbing supply house. You can tell them the number of fixtures and they will do a water calc for you.

Have you checked the water yourself? It is strange that only one unit is having this problem. There might be a problem with the shower mixer.
