Just replaced the water heater, and the only thing available was one of the new FVIR types for only twice the price. I appreciate the fact that it is less likely to blow up from gasoline spilled on the floor, but since it's in the laundry room and I normally don't keep the lawn mower there, I was a bit less than thrilled at the opportunity to pay for this new "feature." Worse still, I've been informed that should the nice new safety features of my water heater ever activate, they can't be reset, and I'll get another round of the thrilling experience of replacing the thing. Anyone know of a secret stash of old-technology water heaters?
