All this talk about water heating (and the stainless tanks) prompts me
to ask about current residential water heaters.

I have an older water heater (+10 years!) and I think one reason it
has lasted this long is that it doesn't work that hard - several years
ago I set it so just the pilot flame is on.

It may have lasted so long simply because it was well made. My
previous gas water heater lasted 24 years. I just replaced it a month
or so ago. I don't expect the new one to last half that long.

Holy ****.... who made it? They could use you for an advertisement or
sumpn....

Id comment on mine...its older by a number of years...but if I get too
specific..it will blow up or die in a week.
