    ONLY got 44 years out of my WH. Now what - Rheem or Bradford White?

    ONLY got 44 years out of my WH. Now what - Rheem or Bradford White?

    "Flush the tank yearly and if the unit has a "compression" drain valve ( which the majority do ) .... replace it now. The stock valves do not pass any large sediment and make the flush process futile. Get a 3/4 ball valve drain for $25. that is made for flushing." Could you identify the brand...

    Which Toto toilet for my small bathroom?
