Joe the water heater is probly full calcium and magnesium deposits and it is lowering the capacity of your water heater. The best thing you can do is replace it. When you have hardness in your water the minerals start to precipate out when there is a 20 degree rise in water temperature. These minerals settle out in the bottom of the water heater eventually filling it up effecting the operation of the unit. Do yourself a favor and purchase a water softner to take out the minerals. A water softner will save you a lot of headaces and money.
