      If your Waiwela Water Heater is not providing water hot enough, first, ensure that the temperature setting isn't too low and increase it if necessary. Check that the gas valve is fully opened. If the gas supply pressure seems low, contact your gas company to inspect the gas meter and piping size. If there is bleed over in one of the hot water fixtures, call a dealer for service.
