I worked for a plumbing store the worst item you can ever put with a tank is a softener most of the plumbers we've had did a 2 way line one to the softener and the other to the tank

It also depends on the type and any features it has My Bradford had a sediment separator and had to be flushed whenever if got full which would be once a year the Richmond I just bought last march has a seperator as well but it has a bigger drain valve than the old one I'm on the hunt for a 1/2 hot water hose

http://waterheatertimer.org/Clean-sediment-out-of-water-heater.html Water-softener reduces life of anode rod in gas and electric water heaters Water heater manual says: "Artificially softened water is exceedingly corrosive because the process substitutes sodium ions for magnesium and calcium ions. The use of water softener may decrease life of water heater tank." Six-year tanks come with 1 anode rod. Read manual. Generally, tanks with longer warranties come with 2 anode rods. Pick your poison now fox

I never had a water softener and mine lasted 18 years were as the standard age is 8 to 12 The only thing I had done to it every year is a flush and fill but that's only because the city keeps replacing water mains and fire hydrants Flush the water line to remove any sediment 🙄💢

Whole house sediment catcher will be a good investment Since the water line hook up for the tank comes from the main line the catcher can help lighten the tank by catching sediment from the city when they do any pipe replacements

Just out of curiosity but what water system do you have? City or well water?

@SwimMod_Rogue

That's cause you could never handle it

You sure it's not from hip replacement? We all know how strong his drive is😏

.............sponge my boy Also welcome back

Well there is a way to tie it into the exhaust from the new furnaces since they're usually installed on the side of the house thru the brick n mortar I've see it done a few times I'm just not sure it it should be though

Bradford was about $1,200 and that's just 40 gallons without installation

I've heard several different opinions on this but one that got me interested was this The pro with tankless is you don't have a bulky tank on the floor The con though its structure sercured to the foundation which can be tricky especially with older homes from the 70s and back
