In My Humble Opinion welcome to the REAL world of AO Smith. I no longer use AO SMITH the dip tube failure and defect tank company.
TRY State water heaters OR Bradford White ANYTHING but Smith.
Keep calling AO Smith or contact a local supply of this FAILURE tank and HOUND them constantly.
DEMAND FULL price BACK PLUS the Actual cost of replacement LABOR KEEP posting how UNCARING AO SMITH is towards you. CALL your consumers affairs and ATTY General DONT let them hold your money ANY longer .
By the way SEE about possibly collecting WATER damage from the AO Smith tank falure. Good Luck Another VICTIM OF AO SMITH
