Original natural gas water heater, 50 gal., 2001 install, failing. There is water in the pan, I feel a slight misting of water near the top and see water dripping from the overhead exhaust capture, I'm guessing here. My husband is in hospital and I'm not going to let him deal with this at this time. I have called a plumber. we have hard water here in Richmond Texas 77469. We do have a water softener with additional vortex tank with Filox.
Is there anything I should ask for or look for, especially regarding the hard water, high manganese and iron, water softener. Also what things can the plumber do at install to make this water heater easier for a homeowner to maintain and to increase longevity.
I really appreciate any and all advice and suggestions.
