Oh I am sure. Been there with the last water heater. I don't have the time or patience to mess with it. The last thermocouple issues resulted in a day of messing and I still paid for a service call and a new water heater. You know how it goes. Plus it's 10 pm here and THe thermocouple store closes at 9. LMFAO
Im sure the difference between cold water there and here are 2 different things. Like it may peak at 40° here in the summer. Winter time its colder than the refrigerator. Like barely above freezing.
