Have had the water heater in VAC mode since 5am. The thermostat has Off, Pilot, VAC, Low Heat, Hot, A, B, C, Very hot. Vac is 55°F, Hot is 120°F, and Very Hot is 160°F. Check kitchen and bathroom faucets and hot side warmed up fairly normal, just didn't have to turn on the cold side to keep from getting too hot while washing my hands. Slowly turned the thermostat up as I passed Hot, or 120°F the burners lit. So after 6 hours it cooled from 130°F to 120°F. Turned it on up to my usual A setting, 130°F. Will go check every 5 minutes and see hold long before it reaches 130°F and turns the burners off.
Interesting less than 15 minutes and it was up to temp. Had to turn it up to B or 140 before the burners lit again. Back to A/130 and they went off.
What do you do on your day off?
