Who likes a chilly spray of cold water down
the spine? It is certainly something to “yowp”

is bigger than your water heater can deliver. And
~the solution is simple—see your gas water heater
dealer and have him replace your present heater
with a new Automatic Gas Water heater with a
hig enongh tank. Or use the chart below to help
you “size-up” the hot water supply needed for
