Water heater specs
 

Looking at Rheem water heater specs, I noticed some strange numbers. Two
of their water heaters have all the same specs except for the warranty and
the cost per year. The cost per year of one is $309 and the other is $231.
Everything else is the same, including first hour rating, tank size, input
btu/h, recovery rating, dimensions, weight, and energy factor.

I thought you could calculate the cost per year from the first hour rating,
the btu/h input, the recovery rating, and the energy factor. But if all
four of those are the same, how are they getting such different costs per
year for them?

Now that I've fixed the links, I see that one difference is the cost of
fuel cited: For NG: $0.91 per therm vs. $1.281. For L.P.: $1.23/gal. vs.
$1.87.

They still broke for me this time, reading with Agent 1.9.

But I couldn't count on posters using brackets even if they worked all
the time, so what always works for me is to start a reply, then remove
the LineFeed and characters:

Then I can click on it with no problem.
