Just wanted to post to everyone that I recently replaced by Rheem 50 Gallon Electric to their Lifetime warranty Marathon 85 Gallon model and also added a recirculation loop that keeps hot water flowing even to the farthest bathroom. No more mornng sickness LOL

actually, if you take the bottom drain out of any hot water heater, replace it with a 6" piece of pipe, then a tee and then put your shut off or drain fauset on the end of ther pipe. run another line or pipe out of the tee down to the farthest hot water fauset in your house,tap in and connect the pipe close to the fauset and you'll have a recirculation loop, instant hot water at any fauset.
