20 years at least, provided the hot water heater is serviced and maintained by a plumber once a year.
If you are a homeowner and are experiencing hot water heater problems you would look in the yellow pages under heating cooling. Often, companies that specalize in air conditioning and plumbinbg will also be able to fix your hot water heater.
It should be balanced to regulate water. The amount of water should be maintained constant.
Betta water does not require a filter. However, if one is not present weekly water changes should be performed. PH level around 7.0, water conditioner added to remove chlorine and other harmful chemicals. A heater is not required but a constant temp should be maintained. Should not be placed in direct sunlight for extended periods.
There should be a dial on the front of the heater that you set the temp. with.
You should have a hot water heater for the kitchen for sure and also to have for the bathrooms. I personally like to wash my hands in hot water not cold.
Yes, you should definitely insult it.
Take shorter showers, or get a tankless, "on-demand" water heater that heats the water as you use it.

Yes. I would. If you are replacing the hot water lines, it is also a good time to drain the hot water heater and get rid of all the junk at the bottom of the hot water heater. That should be done once a year. Your hot water heater must be off when you do that, your hot water heater should be off when you drain your hot water heater. You will see boiler scale come out of your water heater. Leaving the boiler scale in your water heater makes it less efficient. It makes it harder to heat your water. It is the same as throwing money down the drain. If you want to give your money away, you should give it to the Salvation Army instead of the Utility Company.
A leaking water heater can be very dangerous and should not be used if it is leaking. Also, you should clean the leakage and keep it away from any other electronics.
