I read the post below about the man who had to replace his water heater and got a lot of advice from the crowd.
Well My water heater was 13 yrs old and we kept running out of hot water, it' would not recover very fast at all. So I found one thru my nephew who is a plumber. He got us one that was used but only a month old. I proceeded to take our old one apart and cut the tank in half. I wanted a look inside, cause we drained ours once a month. But never got any sediments out of it. When I cut the tank in half I was amazed and found nothing. The tank was clean as new. But I was told they get a film on the inside over time that keeps the transfer of heat from heating the water. Has any one else heard of this???
