We live in a home in TX constructed in 2006. There are 2 50-gallon AO Smith ProMax electric water heaters located side by side in the attic with a recirculation pump. We were on filtered well water the first two years (high iron content), and then we paid the money to get city water.
Yesterday, I was in the attic and noticed rust around the bottom of one of the heaters. Is it time to replace these?
If so, what brand would you recommend? Would you recommend something like the GE Geospring?
I figure it would be best to replace both at the same time, if replacement of one is needed.
One thing I never liked about our current setup is that we would get sediment/particles in our jacuzzi tub with hot water even after switching to city water. The faucet for the tub doesn't have a strainer, but I always wondered if it was our heaters or if it was related to buildup from when we did have well water.
Thanks for the help and recommendations!
