To maximize your water heater's hot water supply and prevent running out too quickly, you can take several effective steps. First, adjust your water heater thermostat slightly higher (typically to 120°F to 140°F). Second, flush mineral sediment from the bottom of the tank annually to restore heating efficiency. Third, insulate older tanks with an exterior thermal blanket wrapper. Fourth, upgrade to low-flow showerheads to reduce overall consumption, or install a mixing valve to blend stored hot water more efficiently. Verification: Monitor hot water recovery duration and output volume after adjusting thermostat settings.
