Water pressure at the well tank is good but coming out of the faucets in the house it's dropping. Also, it takes a LONG time for the water to get hot at the faucet now which makes me think the bottom element is bad. We have REAL hard water out here and the tank is 11 years old. Everything I have read suggests it's toast.
I understand about being able to clean it out. My worry is that I will get it apart and find that it is beyond repair and be stuck completely without water. So I am kinda just letting it ride.
I got enough left to put a new one on the Wal Mart card......right along with the new washer I just ordered......but sumbitch, I hate to keep jackin that card up. The payment just gets higher and higher. A card is fixin to slip out before long.
