 Hello:  This is one of those topics that's filled full of speculation, claims and incomplete info.  Dip tubes have been made specifically to mix up water in the tank, claiming better performance.

Only side by side testing, done with accuracy will tell if different dip tubes make any difference at all.  Still, so much depends on how water is used, both how much and how fast, that the likelihood of a complete scientific answer is slim.

My own experience installing thousands of curved dip tubes is people sometimes tell me they can take longer showers. Nobody has complained of less hot water.

Yours,  Larry
