Cold water enters the water heater's tank

The burner heats the water inside the tank and constantly turn on/off to maintain the stored hot water temperature, therefore,wasting energy

Hot water exits the tank

Once you use between 60-70% of the stored water, the temperature begins to drop and takes about an hour to recover.
