YEs, they did have a defective run of dip tubes for a while I changed one
for a friend, or rather installed one as it was missing. It took less than

Before you bother with a new water heater, try to find out if you still have
a dip tube. Yours may have been made during the time that dip tubes
disintegrated due to a change in the formula for the plastic. �Dip tube =
$10, water heater = $200 plus.

with a 10 year o;ld tank disturbing anything like attempting to
replace dip tube may generate leaks and is a fiancial loser.

buy a new tank its time
