I never replaced the anode rod in that water heater and I wondered if it would have lasted longer if I had. The replacement 75-gallon gas water heater, made by A.O. Smith, cost my wife and I $1,810. I didn&rsquo;t realize that water heaters were so expensive, so I endeavored to do everything I could to keep the replacement water heater for as long as possible.</p>
