50 Gallon Water Heater
Pros
- Rheem has the lowest failure rate of any water heater we have ever seen in the so-cal area.
- Rheem offers two anode rods inside its 10-year tank. This adds significant life to the water heater.
- These professional grade water heaters are significantly better than what you will find at home depot, lowes or any other retail outlet.
- Professional grade units are meant to be serviced over time and be repairable. Units available at home depot are meant to be thrown away.
- Both Rheem and Bradford White water heaters are contractor-grade water heaters. They are only available to licensed plumbers.
- Rheem offers a time-tested thermostat that has an extremely low failure rate.
- I personally like the cosmetic appearance of Bradford White water heaters.
Cons
- Bradford White is prone to leaking tanks between years 5-9.
- Bradford White’s repair costs are significantly higher than Rheem’s. This is due to the thermostat and safety devices Bradford uses.
- Bradford White only offers one anode in the 10-year tank.
