I would have liked to see you weigh the bare tanks after the shell, etc. was off. I suspect it would mirror the weights you did after removing the gas valve, etc. One other thing that might have been interesting would to have cut a hold in the tanks after the failure and measure the thickness of the steel. Non the less, it was an interesting video.

Interesting info. Have no idea why Smedley put music in the video, really hard to concentrate on what the man is saying.

It's just my wife and I in an all-electric house with grid-tied solar, so we use a very small Black & Decker flash water heater. It heats as fast as the hot water can get to the shower, with as much 105 F water as we want. It never runs out, because it has no tank. Uses zero electricity if no hot water is running. Best of all, we have never had an electric bill since we installed the solar. It does need 30 Amps @ 220 volts, but that's no different from a standard electric water heater. That is a lot of electricity, but we only use it for a few minutes per day.

Shivering shitsicles Batman I feel like I've been shot at and missed and shit at and hit! Wow that grand slam yam cam is amazazing and it sure would be put to Alot of proper use! The only question I have for you is why haven't you sent me my grand slam yam cam yet?

Maybe I don't comprehend but this is only true in the case of AOS?

Good job , after 50 years we moved to a house with an expansion tank and I knew what it is for. Thank you

QUESTION: my house is a 15 years old manufactured home, with 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, lately the plastic pen under the water heater has some water on it, so I know that the 15 year old water heater is about to quit, the model I have is rheem 50 gallons 240 volts, 3500 watts. They don't make that model anymore. will 50 gallons 3800 watts be compatible with my double 20 amps breakers? I would appreciate your answer!! thank you!!!!!!!

First I switched to a tankless heater 10 years ago and will never go back to a tank Second The government does not want your tanked heater to last more then 10 years so you have to buy the ones with all the new designs that come out. Just like auto's

Look i know youre a pro, i would personally feel better about your safety if you were behind a baricade if some kind. I knew a family who lost all but 6 kids from a water tank explosion, please be safe

Don’t ever buy stuff like that from Home Depot or Lowe’s

Uh, Are you showing the EXACT same model numbers. I highly suspect that they are DIFFERENT model numbers. So, if they are DIFFERENT MODEL numbers, then of course they are not the same.

The music is irritating . I’m 72 years old and can barely hear you! It’s so loud. No more music!

Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video… changed my view 100%

perfect video man thanks.

i dont like this filter its to dark

The problem is no plumber in my area would sell me that pro water heater for less than $1300 uninstalled.

I wanted to watch this whole video but it’s so slow- you don’t need to tell us twice/in detail what’s happening/ that you’re writing prograde on the pro grade heater.. Will watch if you speed up the pace for future videos

I see you , but I don’t see the have it self , is that a joke ???!!!

Not sure why I'm diggin this either! Now I want to pull my toilets just to replace the wax rings for the hell of it. I want A#1 "SQUISH"!¡!😅

Only need to change temp on bottom thermostat!

Water heater tanks are glass lined for obvious reasons. "Sacrificial anode rods" are easy to google. Those plastic lined nipples exiting the tank are NOT rated as die-electric unions/connectors...the plastic inside just protects the nipples. Die-electric flex connectors are normally the insulator for the break in electric conduction (read the labels). Science hasn't completely nailed down what causes electrolysis.....I've seen countless "up to code" water systems fail from pin-holes and green and white fuzz completely incapsulating a copper 90. And yes...I've seen completely out of code systems that work just fine after 20-30 yrs.....unpredictable at best. Soft water is a must if you want your water systems and fixtures to last MUCH longer.

Ain't nobody got time to watch this...

I didn't know there was a difference. But then again everything is trash now days anyway

When i first bought my home, i had a root issue in my pipes. I had a plumber come and cut up all the roots. He reccommened roebic root killer 3 times every year. Its been 5yrs. Never had another back up/slow drain issue.

Wax seals are so old school. I would use one of those rubber seal type rings.

Mmmm. Smells like money.

Sunday will be replacing my 10-year-old Glacier Bay with the Toto Drake.

I'm tired of manufacturers shaving pennies off the price of products just to make sure they barely make it thru the warranty period. All the while tripling the price. I've never seen so much inflation than in the price of water heaters over the years. Planned obsolescence should be a crime.

That weld that failed was because this unit was built on Friday afternoon 😂

Outstanding Video! Do you have a recommendation between the AO Smith Pro and the Bradford White? I have had my AO Smith for 14 years but am considering installing a new one. Thanks

Seems most the weight difference is the anode rod and then the drain valve and panel cover. Doing the math, that means the tank has to weigh very close to the same. Think im gonna go w box store and a brass valve. Then replace the anode rode in a year or so and then probably every few years after that because we have very hard water in MO.

I like your comparisons: I’d add that getting aluminum into the water supply that customers are ingesting ! The aluminum rod is a health hazard to the long term brain getting more aluminum into the brain matter that has been found to effect the brain from several conditions Alzheimer’s dementia! So they are raising the rise into the population! Very bad ! Less aluminum

My heater is from 2004. considering a replacement now after 20 years. A Bradford White.

Why the expansion tank goes in the supply side instead of the hot side.? Hot water rise to the top.

Air test? Supposed to be hydrostatic test. Less dangerous. Mostly water helps, should be solid water.

Myth busters defeated the relief valve, and did runaway firing. Launced the water heater through 2 floors of the test house. If you were anywhere in the house you would have passed in the burn unit. Important valve is understated.

hard to watch, video bouncing everywhere

Where’s the electric water heater?

Considering the water pressure in a house should be ~60psi, your test was hilarious, but useless. The water heater in my house has been there for over 20 years. We have naturally soft water and scale isn't an issue here. We fully expect another 20+ years of service from it. We bought it at Lowe's.

I just had my 2 yrold Lowe’s water heater with a pro water heater. Lowe’s $390.00 pro $1800.

I've watched dozens of these videos and the only ones who say the root killers don't work are plumbers. Imagine that

Yam cannon!!

I have a 40 gallon GE gas hour water heater. I installed it in 2004. It's still kicking out hot water.

I am a plumber apprentice and I absolutely love the way you teach and break things down and the simplest of ways

Like most manufacturing nowadays there’s only a few places that actually manufacture something and a lot of them just slap different stickers on for different manufacturers, but they’re the same or almost the same product. Sadly. Glad to see these are still different… for now

We're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna. Don't talk so much, just do; give a little overview and then describe what is happening as you are doing it. I do a lot of skipping over that excessive introduction to the demonstration, to get to the demonstration. Notwithstanding, I love your videos, very informative.

when my 1950s era gas water heater gave up the ghost, I was going to get another gas one but to bring everything up to current code to stay with gas, the expense made me decide to convert to electric. I got a 50-gallon Bradford White from the local plumbing supply store. I was about 1-1/2 times the cost of the GE at Lowes but all of the ones at Lowes had plastic fittings. My BW has copper elements and all brass fittings. I didn't want plastic as the "contractor grade" water heater in my sister's house in Houston (not known for cold weather) had a fitting that cracked while she was out of town for a week and with its being in the attic, it managed to do several tens of thousands of dollars in damage to the first and second floors including damage to dozens of photo albums. You never regret going with quality,

Great video.

The insulation is not Styrofoam its Polyolefin. It is a foam, but it is self-extinguishing as opposed to Styrofoam that is not.
