Thanks Joe! Great idea! I did that last week LOL! Took me a while to realize it and sat out in the 'ol lawn chair and it hit me.:) I agree the problem worsens by using the electrical heating element however depending on the water source you can also get in trouble. A good example was a water tanker we had in the fire dept. The water and all the stuff in it finally ate through the wall of the tank (in several places) and the tank had to be replaced. That tank was not heated. Depending on the condition of the water and the minerals it contains you can get the same thing. Now a device like a anode rod is put in the tank every six months to help slow the process and keep all the bad elements in check. Water consition varies from place to place but in some places can be pretty "hard" stuff and given the type of tanks we use on our rv's it wouldn't take long for the damage to be done.
