I grew up in Northern Kentucky and when you think of Kentucky, what is the first thing you think of? Horses! Yes, my family raised and showed quarter horses. I was riding horses before I could even walk. Growing up on a horse farm, we didn’t call in tradesmen; we just learned to do the work ourselves – electrical, mechanical, carpentry, plumbing, machinery, all of it!
As a young adult, I joined the U.S.

There are some ways to get more hot water out of an existing water heater without upgrading its size. You can raise the temperature up from the factory setting of 120° to 140° and then add a mixing valve that mixes the overheated water with cold water to make that stored hot water go further. There are some downsides to that option though so I’d recommend a water heater booster in many cases for long-term cost savings and reliability.

If you have a standard electric or gas tank, there are a number of things we can do to increase the amount of deliverable hot water from the simple to the complex. One of the ways to do that would be to simply increase the set-point of the thermostat so that the water stored in the tank would be hotter and would therefore go farther.
Dear Rheem® Plumber,
Our thoughts are with you and your team members who have been impacted by the extreme weather conditions in Texas. We understand the difficult circumstances this has created and share concern for the safety and comfort of all affected.
We know you are working tirelessly to restore the water supply to Texans in need. While you are working the front lines, Rheem is working in parallel with our suppliers to expedite both tankless water heaters as well as replacement parts to the Texas market.
Everyone offers training, but not everyone can say that they have a team of master plumbers who have all formally run plumbing companies. Join Rheem’s master plumbers for weekly instructor-led digital training available online. That’s right, every class is taught by a master plumber.
What’s Different About Plumber 2 Plumber (P2P) Training?
It can be frustrating when it seems like your trainer doesn’t know much beyond what is on the slide in a presentation.
What a year! Despite the challenges that 2020 brought, plumbers were still able to get the training they needed. We welcomed over 19,000 attendees whether they participated in in-person training or online training once we had to close our Innovation Learning Centers due to COVID. If you were one of the many plumbers that attended – THANK YOU! We are looking forward to having thousands more this year.
Packed Training Calendar for Plumbers
Plumbers rocked last year and logged in their training hours.
