Our 50 gallon electric water heater has lasted us almost 15 years now with no sign of any sediment/scale piling up in the bottom. I drain it annually just to keep on top of it. Whole house water filter at the point of entry to the house, then a water softener. We are on a well with extremely hard water so the softener is a must. As a side note along these lines, our first RV had to have the sacrificial anode changed every year as it was almost completely dissolved. We bought a portable water softener system designed for RV's that changed everything. The anode looked brand new a year later. We sold it and bought the current RV that also uses the anode. In three years, it still looks new.</blockquote>
