Water healer

So, I recently got a water heater to scrap. The bad news is, I only got it because it blew out and almost flooded my basement and garage. The worse news is that all my local hardware stores were out of water heaters and the soonest I could get one was two days later. I had to turn it back on to take a shower even though quite a bit of water leaked out. Then it would barely turn back on the second day. Oh well. I just got a new one last night.
