Yep, trailer trash. Just be sure and get the "primo" extended warranty with it. If something fails, don't worry about repairing it. Just rip it out and haul it back for "in-store replacement". It's the new world order. Last edited by jeff5may; 12-27-13 at 12:36 PM.. Reason: words |

As far as furnaces in the attic , sooner or latter someone ( in my case , me ) is going to have to get up in the attic to work on the thing ! Not good ! :-(
Hope they have the furnace filter located in a single , large , return air grill ? Hopefully accessible from below ? The furthest HW consuming devices are in the back bathroom . It serves the guest bedroom , which is seldom used . It will have to wait for an upgrade . Other than , maybe insulating the HW line , as far as I can get to / reach . I am too old and fat to get under the actual bathroom ( under the floor ) . I can follow the HW line across the guest bedroom ( under the floor ) . Pier and beam house . Good news and bad news . I have also traced down a water leak , inside a wall in the main bathroom . The leak is bad news . That I found it is good news . There is some crazy plumbing in this house . That is not uncommon to houses that have been added on . The water leak is unrelated to the grumbling / belching WH . Last weekend , I replaced 2 faucets and overhauled a third . The fun just never ends ! :-( God bless Wyr |

He's been using it for a year and a half, as I remember and seems pretty happy with it. Maybe he'll chime in here... -AC

Will drain the tank , if the drain is not plugged with lime . It is in an interior closet ( not in a garage with concrete floor ) . If a water hose on the drain valve does not work , that is as far as I will go . Space limitations and the possibility of water leakage / damage are an over riding matter . The gas WH is 10 to maybe 15 years old . It is a standard 5 - 6 year unit . I think replacing it is a wise move . Especially before I get too old to do the work . God bless Wyr |
