New unit or was it a repair job?

Both brand new, The tank I just replaced I put in new 30 years ago....

This is a better quality tank!

30 years seems a decent time for a tank to last. This one is better? It might out-live you!

I put in a Rheem which is American made, and Industrial Quality. The old one was a Kenmore (Sears) home style tank.

I REALLY hope so, I don't want to do this again!

Ah cool...Yep, we have Rheem here. Steady, hot and strong is their catchphrase.

Excellent, glad you have them there too! I put in one of their hot water boilers 20 years ago to wash surgical needles.

I've never done anything like that. Here we need to have a gas fitter/plumber do jobs like that although I assume there's people that do it themselves.
