Water Temperature on Suburban Gas/Electric Water Heater

I'd like to be able to increase the water temperature but I'm not sure where to find a replacement that is higher or even better is simply adjustable. They look like this on mine.

There are two of them one for the electric and one for the gas. How do I do it?

    I am not aware of any aftermarket tstat/ECO that is available for the Suburban water heater. What gallon do you have 6 or 10? Why do you want to increase the water temp? To get more hot water by mixing the cold with a higher temp? You can run BOTH 120 and LP at the same time for faster recovery. Doug

    I believe they are a fixed temp that is engineered for the other components of the unit.
