HiJo, There's pretty much only a couple of places a water heater can leak. You said you have checked them. Has this ever been stored with water in it in a cold climate. If they freeze they split open pretty easy. There's no set life expectancy, depends on the area and the water. I live in New Mexico and the area I live in 5 - 6 yrs is about the norm, some more some less. The water is harsh. 3 yrs or less is a bit premature. Truly I hope I'm wrong. It's just the symptoms you've given and the troubleshooting you've done point to a leaking tank. Pull the tank and remove the styrofoam and see what you can find. Best of luck to ya! |
