⚔️The critical issue here is that, when U said that, If the temperature isn’t set exactly the same on top & bottom controls,then the water heater won’t function properly. But the 1 controlling set screw, doesn’t give a 130 degree marker, to do that’ ! Now what must be done to have both set correctly ?🛡

Go ahead and do that if that is what your manual says:) We appreciate you watching!

I have a 75 Gallon Marathon (Rheem) water heater and I set the top thermostat at MED and Med is 125 degrees and the bottom is set at low or 120 degrees. I believe this is what the factory setting were (120 degrees). I assume that the temperatures is what you want to be the same. The 2 thermostats are not the same on this unit. The bottom has a medium setting temperature of 150 degrees and the top medium equals 125 degrees .. high setting for the top is 155 degrees and bottom is 180 degrees. Low setting temperature top 95 degrees bottom 120 degrees. This water heater is considered commercial although it is installed in a single family home. The plumber said the top and the bottom should be set the same (Medium) but that caused the water to register at 150 degrees. I really don't know what the factory setting on the thermostats were? I called Rheem and waited hours on hold but no one could tell me how they were originally set. I want the temp to be 120 degrees and I would like to have this water heater work as efficiently as possible. HELP!

There are varying opinions about flushing the water heaters. You could probably find numerous videos on just that alone. We even have one. I personally am not a fan of it but there good arguments on both sides. If you do drain your heater you must absolutely shut down the power first. Great questions ! Thanks for asking and watching our video!

Other KZread videos are telling me I should set the top thermostat slightly higher because hot water rises and it helps even the load on the elements so the bottom doesn’t do the majority of the work. I dunno who to believe!?

@BecPlumbe

It should help, because you won’t need to use as much hot water in the mix when showering. However, you’ll also be paying for more electricity to keep the water hotter. If your electricity prices are high and your budget is tight, keep an eye on those bills. Also, if you have a larger household or use a lot of hot water, you might benefit from a larger tank (if that’s within your power). Or you could consider things like splitting hot water use times - eg could some household members shower in the evening instead of the morning, or could you use a delayed start on things like your laundry so it washes at midday or during the night (or wash on cold).
