    Hot water heater fail - anode rod looked new for 4 years

    I should have guessed that my tank was failing. My anode rod looked new after 4-5 years. My guess/hindsight is something in the tank had acted as the anode… Thankfully it was a slow leak

    Water Heater - Works with Propane and Electric ??

    Water heater switch

    Is it a very big job to move the on/off water heater switch from the compartment to a more convenient location, maybe in the master bath?
