And yes, the sediment inside the old tank heaters is real. It looks and feels a lot like sand. Bottoms up.

The old, rusted tank heater that's seen better days is mine. I never knew how bad it looked, until I lit it for videotaping.

As always, thanks for watching.

Some additional verbage for those with a passion for the obvious.

Now that natural gas prices and propane prices have shot up, the hot story for consumers is the tankless water heaters. If you are considering purchasing a new water heater, you should consider the tankless models.

Sure most people wait for the old one to go-out before they drive down to Home Depot or Lowes to shop for a water heater, but you could begin saving money immediately with these new heaters. Conventional water heaters must heat water on standby before the water is even used. Tankless water heaters do not have a storage or standby tank, so the water is heated only when you turn the spigot.

According to industry experts, you can save 10% to 20% on your gas bills by switching to tankless water heaters. You will also save on space. The average tankless water heater is about 24 inches high, 18 inches wide and 9 inches deep -- significantly smaller than storage tank-type water heaters -- although sizes vary.

Can some one out there tell me which one would be appropriate for a home with 2 bathrooms. It's a ranch style home so there long distances from where our old hot water tank is to... say... the kitchen. Also how do you know what to use.. propane or electric. Rest of the house is electric and there is no natural gas to the house. The Rinnai's look great but EXPENSIVE.... I love it but I love paying my MORTGAGE too!!! Please help....

Yeah, i didn't believe the hype when I heard about tank-less water heaters.  More maintenance than they're worth.

If you want to save money on a tankless heater - DO NOT BUY ONE! I bought a Bosch 250SX about 18 months ago and just tore it off the wall this week and replaced it with a forced draft tank type.

Endless hot water? If you don't count the frozen coils, board failures and "hiccups" where you suddenly have the heater stop functioning halfway through a shower.

Flooded the basement 4 times due to coil freeze, and lost the main board twice in 18 months. Unreal.
