Lots of good info, thanks guys. I'll check out the dip tube thing for sure. Any thoughts on how to tell how old the bugger is?
I agree with the - getting a repair guy to come out $ vs. getting a new one $. Still, trying to avoid any costs that we don't have to have at the moment.
Side note, on the tankless systems, I've heard that it takes quite a while to actually get the water hot, that you have to leave the taps running for some time, wasting water in the process. One friend said it was really annoying because every time they went to do dishes, or wash their hands, they'd have to run the water for too long.
