I don't have any of these, but having gone through this bullshit 2 different times myself, I am thinking about it.

I knew about the screamer water detectors, always spaced getting one for water heater. Was always assumed i needed it more for my aquarium.


Any big above in water heaters. Looking at Rheem Performance 50 Gal. Tall 6 Year 40,000 BTU High Efficiency Natural Gas Water Heater-XG50T06HE40U0 - The Home Depot
Or jumping from 500 to 600/650 gets more from 6yr limited to 9/12. Seem otherwise identical efficiency/features.

Don't need thousand dollar wifi heater but want something that doesn't fall in 5yrs.

If you have to replace it, why not go tankless? Save space and unlimited hot water..

Got a new gas tankless heater. Bill went down per month and the unlimited hot water on demands is great.

Thought tankless all electric, gas certainly more appealing though cost is at least double. Might be a long time to pay itself off. The huge bulk of my bill is from aquarium anyways.
