I had a Rheem 40 gal. installed in 1998. Made in Mexico. Never flushed it once. Still works fine. Several years ago I asked a plumber whether I should flush it. He told me only if I was looking for trouble. I shopped around and found a guy who has business that sells and installs tank water heaters exclusively. Buys in bulk. I have him on speed dial as soon as it starts leaking. Has to be on its last leg. 26 years.
