Question: How old can a tank be?
How old can a tank be?
I hear silicone can last 10 years, I hear that tanks have been running 15-20 years. So realistically how long can silicone and plumbing seals last?
My tank is over 6 years old. All is fine. Silicone and relevant seals are good. Just wondering.
