Liquid Propane instead of Natural Gas. The orifice in the burner and pilot light are different sizes. The propane ones are bigger and let too much gas through and the flame will be too big.

The gas water heater works through a principle of physics which is known as convection. The gas heater is similar to a water heater only that it has one heating unit.?æ
Signs that a water heater is failing include: inconsistent water temperature, strange noises coming from the unit, rusty or discolored water, leaks around the unit, and an increase in energy bills.

It depends on usage.

Signs that indicate a water heater is going out include: water not heating up properly, strange noises coming from the heater, leaks around the unit, and rust-colored water coming out of the taps.
To turn off the gas on your water heater, locate the gas shut-off valve near the unit and turn it clockwise to close it. This will stop the flow of gas to the water heater.
To turn on a Rheem water heater, locate the gas control valve or the power switch on the unit. For a gas water heater, turn the gas control valve to the "on" position. For an electric water heater, flip the power switch to the "on" position. Wait for the water heater to heat up before using hot water.
Signs that indicate you need a new water heater include: age of the water heater (typically 10-15 years), rusty or discolored water, strange noises coming from the unit, leaks or puddles around the water heater, and inconsistent water temperature.
No, it is not recommended to lay a water heater down during installation as it can cause damage to the unit and may affect its performance.
