«Wise old man once explained it to me: There is no difference betwen those
two water heaters, in a physical sense. ... The $100 is simply an extended
warranty»
Wise old man is not so wise. The difference is the warranty length AND the
size/quality of the sacrificial anode that retards the corrosion of the
tank. A longer warrantied gas water heater **will** last longer before it
fails.

Where is this anode? Is it replaceable? A friend has a WH in a cabin upstate
and says he has to replace the WH every 3-4 years due to the mountain water.
Would replacing the anode every year or 2 extend the life?
Thanks
