I want a water heater that will last, and do an effecient job as well. Is there other brands that would be better?Thanks,[email protected] 28 Aug 2000 at 12:57 am #287625 SylvanLMPParticipant They are all good until they fail. A lot has to do with the water quality in your area and what you do to maintain it properly. If you install and forget it your looking for it to fail. Read the manufacturers literature and follow it INCLUDING testing the T&P valve Maytag is a great company. Author Posts Viewing 1 reply thread You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
