Life of a water heater
I have a 7-year old A.O.Smith 40 gal water heater. Works fine, but I've
only drained it out once about 4 years ago. Assuming that that water heaters last about 8-10 years, I have some questions - how often should I be draining and cleaning it out? - does regular draining help prolong its life? - how does one tell that it's ready to break (instead of finding out when the basement is flooded with hot water)? Thanks Mark Sabatini |
