[QUOTE="Decoligny, post: 2895246, member: 41077"] I had one go out on me in my house in CA. It was 21 years old. Don't know how it lasted that long. I think the expected lifespan of a water heater is about 10 years. That could vary if you flush it regularly and change out the sacrificial anode before the threads fuse to the tank. The anode gets corroded before anything else starts to corrode. If it is let go too long, it gets either eaten away to nothing, or completely encased in minerals. That's when the sides of the tank start to corrode. [/QUOTE]
