We had a builder-grade 50 gallon tank recently die in our house. We have two adults and three children under 10 but found that we would run out of hot water after filling the bath tub a couple of times.
Turns out the water tank we had was half full of crud and deposits and wasn't all that good to begin with. We were assured by the plumbing company that a proper 50 gallon tank should be fine for our family. We've only had it for the last 3 weeks, but so far so good. We haven't run out of water yet with about the same use as we put our old tank through.
