of rust flakes like big chunks even in a pile below the pilot lite means

Hi to all,


Jane, it is somewhat hard to quanitify but I normally right up a water heater with alot of rust as nearing the end of its normal life, sometimes in worst cases I just report that it needs replacement.

Regards

Gerry
