Take notice to the year this heater was made 1994 and we removed it from our clients home in 2004 and it should have been replaced long before that, As soon as the client noticed rusty shower water ,but they were told by another plumbing company that there rusty water was from the city working on the street mains and there heater had many years left. So if you have or had rusty water coming out of your faucets or your shower give us a call and let our tech's put your mind at ease before you get flooded.
