Get up this morning for a nice shower. Wash off virus that landed in the
night. Shower is luke warm. Garage has a small lake, to small for
boating. Go to Home Depot to get a new water heater. Frigging
expensive. At least I got a discount Harry missed. My 10% military vet.
Saved $95. What ever happened to reasonable water heaters? They still
last about the same amount of years. Last one was 14 years ago.


14 years is dinosaur age for a water heater around here. I am probably
going to be doing mine soon and I did my FILs last week. Where did
yours fail, the bottom or the top?


I think the bottom, but have not examined where the leak was.

A lot of time it is right where the water connects at the top that
rusts out. Using dielectric couplings mitigates that quite a bit.
