Message: <blockquote data-quote="red dirt shootist" data-source="post: 4169021" data-attributes="member: 52708">Are you on a well or city water?Do you have a whole house water filter and change filters regularly?Is your house plumbed in copper, pex, or poly?Do you ever have leaks in other places?So your tanks are rupturing due to corrosion, with a very short life span. I would have your water analyzed. Then I would call someone like AO Smith and ask to talk to an engineer. I'm not a plumber, or a water expert, or an expert at anything except getting old and cranky, but it sounds to me like you have something in your water that's eating your tanks up. The next time one goes bad get a sawzall out and cut it open, take pics, and get back to an engineer. You may need a filter that is specific to your water problem if you have one. One other thing, you could get the best plumber in your town and ask him to do a consultation on your entire plumbing system with an emphasis on your recirculation system. I worked with a guy who had a similar problem, and I always thought there was something like an electrolysis problem. Good luck.</blockquote>
