How to repair a weak hot water heater, by replacing the dip tube
Have you noticed that your water heater isn't able to produce the volume of hot water that it once did? One of the commonest causes of this is a broken dip tube, inside the tank. Replacing the dip tube is an easy and inexpensive fix. This shows a step by step example of this repair.

They are right about that and I would recommend that be done also.
