Leaky water heater

[rbeau30]

Most manuals say to operate the T&P valve and check the anode annually. That is good advice, if you do it annually. If your WH is 4 or more years old, don't start.

Okay so my house was built in '06 I just bought it, so don't bother with the anode?

I'll definately start draining some water every few months or so, that sounds like a good way to determine if some issues are starting. I am thinking about getting a bigger one anyways when/if this one fails, since ther are 6 of us in the house and 3 bathrooms.

Sorry to take piggy-back on the thread but perhaps would help another reader out. when they search for water heater stuff.
