washing problem.
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. |

Where did yours fail, the bottom or the top? |

Up around DC, water heaters seemed to last forever, whether you drained them or not. I found out real fast that is not true with well water in Florida. |

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. |
