The Mineral Content in the Artesian Water here is so high that W.C. Valves and
Shower Heads have trouble with Buildup after only 6 Mo.

Yet the Original Water Heater was a Bradford White.
(That Lasted more than 40 Years.)
Gas Fired,The Burners finally went.
'Hooked up a Garden hose to the Outflow Faucet,and Gravity drained ALL the H2O.

I expect the New Bradford White 50 Gal. (Gas Fired) to still be heating water
long after I'm Dust.

Place the H.W.H. in question in a Galvanized Pan equal to 50% of the H.W.H.
Capacity with the Appropriate Drain.
