re: Tankless Water Heater

I appreciate this thread guys. My tank is about 7 years old in my ceiling. I am worried about it busting and causing a lot of damage. I am also "traumatized" after going through 3 heaters in 9 years at work. While a commercial is apples and oranges to what I have, I have had a diagnostic done on the two that have busted. Both went to crap due to the chemicals in the water in our area. It just eats them up.

Most commercial units have stainless steel tanks, that plus the sacrificial anode makes them virtually impervious to rotting of most residential units. Now, if they were installed improperly or it's something in the plumbing of the building that would be different but I've seen even crappy residential grade electric water heaters, running on 208V in a commercial setting last years in building whose plumbing pre-dates WW1 in some aspects.
