Why is there insufficient hot water with my State Water Heaters GS6 40 YBVIS Water Heater?
- R
  Rachel RiceAug 21, 2025
  If you're experiencing insufficient hot water, several factors could be the cause. Consider checking with your gas utility company or replacing the orifice with the correct one, referencing the rating plate for specifications. You may also try turning the temperature knob to a higher setting or consulting the gas control error codes. Draining and flushing the heater, along with providing water treatment if necessary, can also help. Ensure you have an adequately sized heater installed, and that the piping is correctly installed with the dip tube in the cold inlet. Repairing any leaking faucets, insulating the piping, and seeking advice can also improve the situation.

  To address slow hot water recovery, start by ensuring proper ventilation for the water heater and inspect the flue way, flue baffle, and burner. Checking with your gas utility company and replacing the orifice with the correct one (see rating plate) are also important steps. You might also want to turn the temperature knob to a higher setting. Installing an adequate heater and correcting the piping—ensuring the dip tube is in the cold inlet—can help. Additionally, cleaning the flue to locate and correct any blockages and unblocking inlet air openings can improve recovery time.
