The hot water has been out for a week.

fsckn’ plumber in Spokane ‘doing taxes’…

$1000 water heaters should last more than 9 mos no?

Update 3/17: John the plumber came and checked it all out. He pointed out that the design of the inline heaters requires a filter for the incoming water, something traditional designs do not. Apparently our local water has a lot of rust particles due to the old iron supply lines and the filter had become clogged. It will probably do this every few months and I’ll know when it’s time to clean it when I notice a pressure drop (I did before it went out). Easy thing to do. $1000 water heaters know when to turn themselves off for safety reasons - someday soon they will call to tell me its time to check the filter…
