How long did your owb last?....

[brad068]

Reason I created this thread is because two of my neighbors owb's which are the same model, we'll call them " johnsons" have developed leaks. One is 9 years old and one is 5. Another neighbors failed after 8 years we'll call that one a "spirit".

For pete's sake, I got a Murrary lawn tractor thats older than any of these boilers, bought brand new and still going strong!

Lets hear your stories....

our dealer told us to change the anode rod every 5 years so were due to replace again. the first time we did it the rod was so caked up with crap we had to break it off and pound it down into the tank. oh, btw we also had to replace the bladder in the top about 3 years ago.
