How about flipping a coin. There is little real difference between tanks and most now have a 6 year warranty. If you have real bad water get a 9 or 12 year heater. It will fail in the same amount of time but at least the manufacturer will give you a new one. : The question was, what is your opinion of the best brand? Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned any brand names. : We have very hard water. Would like at least a 6 year warranty. : Thanks again : : : GE and Richmond are made by the same company, and therefore are the same heater. There is no connection between the water softener and water heater so the brand of each is immaterial. : : : Can anyone give me an opinion on the best brand of gas water heater. Is there any great difference between a GE/Richmond/AO Smith? Also, is it best to pair a same brand water softner as the heater (not that I even know yet if the manufacturers make softners, as well.) : : : Any detailed answer would be greatly appreciated!
