What kind of flood is 'nice'?
At close to $1000 (12Y, Calif, "low NOX")
without installation, we run them till they drip .
(most fails just start out dripping. Our building codes require drip pans with a drain connection AND be 18" above the floor if in a Garage)
Maintenance, can prolong the life.
Almost anyone can attach a garden hose and use a screwdriver (child proof rules removed the knobs years ago) and drain sediment. Changing the Anode rod is a bit (can be a lot of effort for so simple of an item) heavy duty (unscrew a pipe plug, remove the assembly, screw in the new one). Frequency of these tasks depends on your water makeup
