: Our electric hot water heater has been doing fine.
: Suddenly, last week, it won't produce enough hot water
: to finish a shower. Not sure how old the heater is. We
: just recently bought the house. Is this a sign the heater
: is going bad? Could a dripping hot water faucet (slow drip)
: drip enough to effect hot water volume?

No a slow drip will not effect your hot water volume but it does not help. Most large hot water heaters have two electric heating elements. One is most likely burned out. Have someone check this out for you.
