Another thing.......
Your hot water heater may be wired to only deliver the "normal" rating of Kilo-watts. On some hot water heaters there is a "jumper" included when you buy the HW heater. Installing this jumper allows the heater element to heat the water faster.
Check the manual and see if you have this. I don't remember if this "jumper" is a separate piece or something that you take off and reinstall in a different position.
I did this when I replaced my hot water heater ~5 years ago..... but don't remember what I had to do.
