Just sharing here that I ALMOST got to be a non-directed donor. I’ve been on a wait list at my center to donate to a child for about 1.5 years. Unfortunately September is the only month this year that my life schedule doesn’t work out for donating and they were targeting a last week of August surgery.

Obviously glad that there aren’t a bunch of kids around me that need livers, but still it was a wild feeling when I got the phone call from the donor coordinator. And then disappointment when I couldn’t do their timing.

We have the AO Smith HPV10-66H01DV water heater. Bought in end of 2024 but only installed recently because we’ve been slowly replacing the original galvanized plumbing with copper. (And by we I mean my father).

Since it’s been installed, we’ll find we have occasional cool showers. Upon going to the basement we find it’s because the in-line GFCI on the cord tripped and needs to be reset. No error codes on the unit itself. And then it’s fine until it happens again a few days later.

My dad is a retired electrician and he wondered whether the issue was because our electric panel didn’t have a ground rod and maybe there was some trickle coming through since the neutral and ground wires were all on the neutral rod. So he installed a ground rod and we thought we had fixed the problem…until I had a very not hot shower this morning.

Any other ideas what could be causing this issue? The troubleshooting section of the manual doesn’t address anything like this and there are no error codes to reference, so we’re not sure what to check/try next.
