In Feb 1997, I heard a new noise in the house from my kitchen that was coming from the basement. You guessed it, my water heater blew its top. I had it replaced with the same kind - a Ruudglas Master gas water heater, Model M40S-2.
The previous water heater lasted about 11 years with a 5 year warranty, but this time I requested a 10 year warranty. The town water folks told me that they are essentially the same - i.e. no difference.
So, since this water heater is now 8+ years old, and drained yearly, is it too late to get a new anode rod to extend its life? What interval replacement schedule for the anode rod can extend the life of the water heater, and for how long is it good for?
