We re-piped our house with copper and got a new water heater 16 years ago. It's gas fired and has a pump with return line. I've never done anything to maintain the heater - flushing, anode replacement, etc. I mention the pump and return line because I think (but don't know) that would help keep the sediment from collecting on the bottom of the tank because the return line goes into the bottom (through the drain connection).
Since it's 16 years old, should I just replace the entire water heater even though it's not giving me any problems?
