Does same issue...hot/warm/cold happen when using city water via hose?
Water heaters use dip tubes to direct cold inlet down and take hot off top area of water level
If either dip tube has broken/fallen off the hot/cold mix and can quickly dilute the hot out
Suburban Diffusers
Cold Inlet....#171054
Hot Outlet...#171509
Installed from exterior of tank via cold inlet/hot outlet ports
I'll check for those this afternoon. How hard are they to install? Any instructions would help. Why would my water work without the pump or city water hooked up? I appreciate you!

Brand/Model would be helpful?
Water is HOT until you turn pump on...then luke warm...cold
How do you know it is HOT to begin with?
Does it stay HOT using city water?
Same hot--warm--cold at ALL Faucets?
Does water heater have 'heat exchanger' or 'motor-aid' system?
HOT water becoming warm/cold HAS to be diluted by cold water:
Either via WH TANK 'ByPass', via shower knobs not being closed, via clogged mixing valve.
*only places cold can get into hot plumbing lines

Verify that the outside (and inside) shower are turned off at the taps, and not turned off only at the shower head with the taps still on.
