Question - What's the longevity of the A7?
Next question. I'm expecting the A7 to out last the hot water tank. Yes/No?
So how the heck do you change the hot water tank?
Will the copper loop come out of the tank?
What's the cost of a new copper loop for the next tank?

In the FAQ at
AirGenerate.com | Retrofit it says 10 years.
25. How long will the AirTap™ unit last?
The life of the AirTap™ is expected to be ten years.

It's a pretty simple unit. Kinda like the 1973 Sears Dehumidifier that
we recycled last year. It still worked like new, after 38 years..
The garden hose connection had rusted out and I didn't like dumping the pan.
There was no float to shut off the unit when the pan got full..
I'm not sure if the A7 copper coil is going to wear out very fast.
I have a large
submerged 1/2" copper coil in my 1977 oil boiler (HS Tarm). No leaks yet.
Installing the A7 isn't that hard. Pushing the HX copper loop into the tank isn't hard.
So, I suspect it's not going to be real hard to un-install.
If you change the anode when it needs it, your heater/A7 might last a long time.
My guess is, this tank-top-add-on technology might be cloned in China,
and available on Ebay by the time my A7 wears out. (If I'm lucky).
If this thing works okay during cold weather. I might buy a second unit for back-up..
LOL! That would insure it would last the rest of my life..
