This. Also, tanked water heaters only last 6-12 years. Ours is at 18 and has just started leaking. Please for the love of all that is holy: replace your water heater before you are forced to. Just received a replacement but the delivery guy damaged it and as a result I’m in RMA hell. They’re telling me that the replacement for the replacement could take weeks.

Even draining it once a year is good.
