Just starting the research phase of a new water heater for the house. I see there is a company named Hubbell that makes a cement lined water heater instead of glass lined. Their Model E is a light commercial duty, so for a home it would be more than adequate (if sized correctly). I know it would be heavier, but the location is on a concrete slab with good access.
Other than costing more, is there any real differences (advantages) to a so called "stone lined" water heater? Does it interact with softened water in a detrimental way?
I have found a few conversations where these types of heaters have a life span of 20 plus years.
Thanks
