I don't have any advice or suggestions. However, I would like to express my awe at the longevity of your water heater. 1985 was a long time ago. I was just a young person. My children (who are grown up) were not even born in 1985. "Back To The Future" was out in movie theaters and nobody but nerds had home computers.

Just think, when you took your first hot shower with that water heater, President Reagan was just beginning his second term of office. Intel stock could be had for 64 cents a share. Nobody had cell phones and had to stick a dime in a smelly pay phone. Helen Thomas was a beautiful young woman who turned heads.

I will be thinking about your 25-year-old water heater for several days to come and I may even have dreams about it.

Thanks for a bit of perspective Sam, I hadn’t thought about it in quite those terms, but you’re right!

Thanks!
