Super Store Water

in Domestic Hot Water
I have a Super Store Model ss-60 and a oil fired furnace. SuperStore is about 15 years old. Suddenly my hot water won't last for two showers. I have well water as well.
Is there an element I can remove and clean or replace? Suggestions?

    A SS-60 is a WH that runs off the boiler... no elements.
    You may have a circulator pump that has broken....

    There may be a mixing valve that may need cleaned or replaced.

    Or a heat exchanger that is limed up, or an aquastat that is out of sorts, or... It's definitely not the dip tube though... :wink:

    Turn the power off,run water until tank is cold. Turn power back on and check delta T across HX,should be quite wide, if not, the HX is dirty. Quite common with these.
