$650 for something I had not even known was happening. Who looks at the top of their water heater? Eek! The handyman who installed the new plumbing and water heater after we moved in here 4 years ago did NOT know what he was doing. There were many parts he used that didn’t have brass sittings, so there was a lot of rust and corrosion. Thankfully a tech here saw it when he was doing a water heater flush. So 6 months later we went ahead on it.
I just don’t get it how these water heaters are so complicated. This doesn’t look great to me (photos are before and after) but at least we are no longer in danger of crud falling into the tank. Replacement would have been so much more. #Water #WaterHeater #Plumbing If I had a a tip today it is to take a look at your water heater. And yes, this is better handled by a real plumber not a handyman. #TipOfDay

Oh, they come in sizes? How do I know what size/rate this one is? There are some numbers on it, but they don't obviously match any volume per unit time measurements.
