I installed an oil fired water heater to replace an electric unit less than 3 years ago. It is a JW317RF model and I am on the 3rd unit. I have replaced it twice within its 12-month warranty due to leaks. The units have failed just shy of the 12 month period. I have well water, which is tested regularly. The PH is fine and the hardness is moderate. I notice a yellow discoloration usually within a few months and outlet of the heater seems to be plugged when the unit is being replaced. I have a whole house filter for sediment and the pressure does not seem to be too high. I do not know if it is a piping configuration issue or a water issue. I drain the heater in the summer and test the relief valve. The water exiting the relief is rust colored and the drained water has mild sediment.
Any suggestions?
