I bought a used water heater at an auction (at a defunct Grainger

Here's a link to this model's description:

I bid on it without thinking too much, because it looked expensive. I
would like to ask if a heater like this can be used at my home.
My home water heater is old and needs to be replaced at some point,
and I thought that it would be a very nice high end replacement,
providing a lot of hot water.

The heater that I bought was installed in 2011.
How can I evaluate its condition (I know that it works, but this is
all I know), and generally can this be used at home? I am quite
ignorant about plumbing and water heaters, I only installed one of
them in my life (at my warehouse).
Thanks

91 gallons! Now that would be a great unit for an in floor heating system.

Heck, it might even make enough hot water to deal with my niece and her
45 minute showers...

To check it over you would drain it disconnect it and look inside with a
good light or better yet an inspection camera. As long as it isn't full
of crud and the anodes and such are good you're good to go.



Geez guys, the heater isn't even 3 years old yet, it would be pretty
unusual for it to have a problem. The tank is still under warranty!
