My hot water tank heater is 13 yrs old. It started to give only lukewarm water a few years after about 2 minutes in a shower - I posted here and also searchd the web. The fix was simple - my model had a defective dip tube that year, it was easy to replace. At that time I looked into a tankless model - it would have cost me over $ 2800 to have a good one installed and I found the ROI calculators posted on the sites to be very questionable.
So my research said to replace the anode rod every 3 - 5 yrs, I had not done so, it was a bear to break free and it had completely dissolved. A new rod is about $ 20.
If you replace the anode rod - your water heater could possibly last a very long time.
