@andydaplumber: Replaced this AO Smith water heater from 1974. Homeowner said he remembers when it was put in and 51 years ago! He never drained it and had no service to it at all!! Still working!! He just wanted a new water heater… #plumbersoftiktok #tradesman #serviceplumber #bluecollarworkers #oldwaterheater

Should’ve flushed it and serviced it and left it there. The new junk won’t even last 10 years

He should not have replaced. He now has some trash that will maybe last 5 years.

All I can tell you is that things from the 40s 50s and 60s and 70s and even 80s were meant to last forever now a furnace or hot water heater. You’re lucky if you get one or two years out of it nothing’s made the last anymore so sad.

Have a 1991 state water heater that still works incredibly well. Thinking about replacement tho cuz every time I flush it the amound of rust always ends up clogging the spiggot and making the water orange for a few days lol
