Looks like the anode rods determine the water heater life almost entirely.
Seems like if you change the rod on a 6 year water heater on the 5th year, you might get 12 years, and so on.
12 year heaters have 2 rods. Same tank.
Also seems like aluminum rods poison the hot water if you use it for cooking. Cheaper than magnesium, so used a lot.
