Someone here recommended putting bricks under an electric water heater, so the bottom won't rust out, I think it was.
Do many people do this? Do you think it is important?
Is it very common for a bottom to rust out so much there are problems? The pan around my last water heater had an inch or two of water in it once in a great while, but it was bone dry 99% of the time. There are small rust marks, but just on the surface.
I have height issues, so was thinking of putting in 3 or 4 tiles, maybe a quarter inch high, like bathroom wall tiles maybe. Would that be high enough to accomplish what bricks are for?
Should I do that.
TIA.
