Hello
I am wring to request the benefit of your knowledge and experience.
I have a relative who has a 3 year old house that has several hot water heaters from Sate Industries Inc in it. Yes it is a big house.
The hot water heaters Serial #s all start with A05A1 and have a Build Date of 2005 and are model GS650YBRT
Dues to a problem with a valve on a shower a plumber was called. He disassembled the valve and found a bunch of "gunk" in it. He said
- Your Dip Tubes are bad
-All the hot water heaters Must be REPLACED
- It will cost you $3500.00
After much searching on the Internet I thought that
- There Once was a problem with faulty Dip Tubes BUT that was waaaay before 2005.
Question 1 - Can hot water heaters with a Build Date of 2005 have dipe tubes that are breaking down like this ?
Question 2 - Is this a Known Problem with this Model of hot water heaters ?
Question 3 - Is this typically covered under Warranty ?
Thanks for any and all help
