I installed two Rheem Professional 50gal WHs 8 yrs ago. Today one of them started leaking. I know very little about water heaters, but I'm not happy I only got 8yrs out of these. I'm guessing the other will go soon enough.
Are the 12yr heaters at HD better? or are you just paying for a warranty?
what can I do to make these things last longer? I'm on well water with a softener. I tried replacing the anode a few years ago but couldn't get the old one out.
