RP and Racefanone are certainly correct that you have scale buildup in the tank…and it’s usually at the bottom of the tank where the drain spigot is located…
That being said, a 12 year-old water heater is about at the end of its useful life expectancy…and is probably quite energy-inefficient. Now is the time to replace it.
