My 2.5 yr old water heater is leaking. I had to remove the anode to get the side arm to work effectively. Is there any alternative to buying another water heater? I was thinking of maybe buying a tank and insulating it myself. I've never even had the breaker turned on for this thing. Not real excited about buying another one this soon.
I suppose you could buy a storage tank and use it - you would want to get one without a bladder in it. You would also have to find a way to install a dip tube so that the cold water would enter the water tank at the bottom with little turbulence induced that would cause mixing of the cold and hot water. The cool thing about doing this.....is you might be able to find a stainless or copper tank somewhere....then corrosion would never be an issue again as long as you don't use black iron or galvanized fittings.
