Hello Thanks for your responses. We managed to source an equivalent of the pipe locally. The one sold and installed by dessalator is made by zec. Full specs

I second Tom’s opinion. When our element went out in 2016 (8 year old water heater), we decided to change for new. It was a 4 hour job, but hopefully don’t have to deal with this issue for another

Hi Kent, I would not pursue things further. Just “Google” pictures of what the inside of most water heaters look like after a few years. As my kids say, “Don’t go there”. That’s one reason

If the zinc is OK you should do nothing more as inspection. The thin coating (film) works as a protection and will soon come back when you remove it. Only rinse the tank. That is sufficient. --

Hi all, I just opened my water heater to check the zinc. It's been a few years since I've done this. I found the zinc mostly intact, but covered with a greenish film. The water is a little discolored
