This is why I changed my water heater. When I came to empty the tank for winterization, nothing came out with the valve open. Thing was full of contamination, minerals and oxidations particles from deterioration the aluminum tanks we all have. Now have a small filter outboard of the water heater which will visually show if there is something happening in there not to mention I also installed an anode in the tank.

When we arrive at the boat, I turn on the water heater, and when we leave, we turn it off. Same with the valve for the city water.

Same here. I think that's one reason why my heater lasted at least 38 years (it's original and is still going).
