    Is 40gal-50gal normal for a home? Previous owners were an elderly couple. I’m sure it suited them well. But with our family of 3 with laundry and occasional dishwasher running, it seems like it’s just slightly not enough. Especially if we’re all trying to get ready for an event or have family staying with us.

    Maybe I just need to get it serviced… Thanks!

    Really? A home water heater doesn’t do 3 showers back to back to back? For the record that’s just a stock photo. We actually have a 50Gal. I just feel like when I was a kid growing up at my parents house, our heater could easily handle 7-8 showers in a row when we had relatives staying with us. Thanks for the reply!
