Just replaced the water heater in my house in Arizona last month. It lasted a miraculous 19 years. We live in a new house in Florida with a new water heater. Should be set for a while.

Famous last words.

Get a magnesium sacrificial anode. The aluminum ones they ship most of them with cause Alzheimers.

The water in Florida tends to be quite hard because of all the limestone.

Flush your heater annually to limit the scale build up.

I am still irritated over the low flow water filters Samsung came out for their refrigerators. The size of the glasses didn’t change. Just wasting my time.

Ours is 13 years old and seems to be going strong but I do worry about it. We have it up on a metal stand out in the garage. So far so good. We are moving soon so hopefully it will be OK. We are going to go to an on demand system.
