Mom and dad just replaced theirs a few years ago. It was an AO Smith original to the house from 73 and they have a softener that they maintain religiously. We had an AO Smith when we moved in and it was just abut 10 years old when it rusted through the tank. Problem on that one was it is a 119g tank because the owners put a stupid Kohler Shower Haven in. We have a softener but the elements only get used a few months out of the year when the geothermal is not running. I checked the old unit's elements when we removed it and they had very little scale on them.
