>Why is he asking about the NYT
Hasn't really been revealed wide spread.
Politico is/has been a known leftist rag by many
POTUS puts eyes on so others will assist in the digs.
Just this anon's take
No, otherwise, the Dems would have plastered that all over the media during POTUS' trials.
>WHs need to be cleaned every year and nobody does it.
Once you install an Anode Rod, you won't need to drain/flush. Once the Anode rod wears out and needs replaced, you could drain & flush then.
As Anon understands, "some" WH mfrs include a small non-powered Anode rod in their heaters, but these may only last 8 months to a year beforethey are used up.
