Default Insinkerator Hot Water Dispenser problems

I'm on my 5th Insinkerator! The first one lasted a long time (about 8
years) but the last 3 only lasted about 1 to 2 years. Always a leaking
tank and just out of warranty. This will be my last Insinkerator as its
too expensive to replace every one or two years.

Are there any reliable hot water dispensers that well last more than a
couple of years out there?



I'm curious as tot he reason. Anything different wit your water? Is the pH
near neutral?

Anyone can have one go bad, but three is a bit much. Seems to me, if
everyone being made leaked after a year or so there would be a major outcry
from the dealers. I just have to wonder is something changed in your water
or system to invite corrosion for some reason. Could it be acting like the
anode in the water heater?



Perhaps local water hammer? I peersonally use a Black and Decker coffee
maker with a carafe. it keeps the water warm for about 6-8 hours. But
since its the same principle im sure, I have been thinking about hot
water dispensers.
