Navien NR-240A Propane Condensing Tankless Water Heater with Pump and Buffer Tank
A standard water heater will last between eight and twelve years. Most tanks today are steel lined with glass or porcelain and over time can oxidize and deteriorate. Most tanks will eventually leak – in some cases it will be a slow leak and in some cases it will be a more dramatic leak. For this reason it is a good idea to know where your dedicated water shutoff valve is located.
Although it is not common, there are homeowners that will see fifteen and in some cases twenty years of useful life from their water heater. Alghough, it is important to keep in mind, that although a water heater may still be working, most water heaters decrease in efficiency over time as sediment builds up inside the tank.
Tankless water heaters can last two to three times longer than a traditonal tank as long as the home owner cares for the tankless unit properly.
5 Ways to Help Prolong Your Water Heater's Useful Life
There are a few things that can extend your water heater’s life:
2nd anode rod: Installing a 2nd anode rod will greatly increase the life of your water heater. The anode rod is a sacrificial rod made of magnesium or aluminum that undergoes galvanic corrosion over time sacrificing itself and thereby preventing corrosion of the tank.
Expansion tank: If you are on a closed system, installing an expansion tank can potentially double the life of your water heater. When water is heated from 50º to 120º, it expands by approximately 2% (so a 50 gallon tank will produce 1 gallon of additional volume). If your system is closed (which means there is a valve which prevents your water from back flowing into the water main), this water has no where to go and because water is not a particularly compressible material, it will cause rapid increases and decreases in water pressure. This expanding and contracting causes stress on both your water heater and your plumbing system which can cause damage and premature failure.
Cleaning or flushing out your tank: For older tanks, flushing the tank out annually can help prevent sediment buildup and maintain higher efficiency of your tank for longer. Many newer model water heaters are self cleaning.
Installing a Pressure Regulating Valve or PRV: If you have very high water pressure above 90 PSI, your water pressure can damage your appliances and can also cause your water heater to fail prematurely. By installing a pressure regulating valve, system pressure is reduced; this also reduces wear and tear on all of your appliances. Keep in mind, if you have a PRV it’s also a good idea to install an expansion tank.
Water softeners: Some areas of the United States such as southern California and theSouthwestern United States have water with very high mineral content (often referred to as hard water). Hard water causes scaling which is a precipitation of minerals which deposits onto surfaces of an appliance. This can drastically reduce the life of a water heater. In many cases, installing a water softener can help reduce wear and tear on the plumbing system due to hard water.

Water Heater Leak Tip No.1: Find the Problem
The first step in repairing a water heater leak is assessing the unit and finding the cause of the leak.
Look around the container to find where the water is leaking from. Many water heater leaks are symptoms of a ruptured water heater tank. (The tank in the heater is a sealed container, probably made from glass.)
If the tank itself is leaking, then it is time to get a new heater. If the leak is instead coming from the piping leading in or out of the container, then that is something you can probably fix on your own.
Note: One of the reasons a water heater may leak is because the fittings are loose. Sometimes the pressure relief valve is leaky and needs replacing.
Water Heater Leak Tip No.2: Prepare for Draining
Once you have identified the problem in the outside water fittings or pressure valve, you need to take steps to shut down and drain the heater.
First, you should gather the things you will need: an adjustable wrench, bucket, dry towels, and plumbing thread.
Next, you need to disconnect the power or gas. If it is electric, switch off the main circuit breaker. Remember to place a note on the box mentioning that there is a project in action so no one accidentally turns it back on.
Shut off the gas by turning the gas dial to the off position. Switch off the water inputs.
Water Heater Leak Tip No.3: Get Inside
Empty the tank into the bucket and dry the fittings with the towels. Now that the tank is empty and secure, you can loosen, reapply the plumbing thread or tape to the pips, and tighten the fittings.
Replace the pressure valve if needed. Make sure everything is back in its place before you turn on the water.
Next, test by turning the water inputs on. If nothing is leaking, then you have successfully learned how to repair a water heater leak–and saved yourself a boatload of cash.
