Gdetrailer, Having an Aluminum tank does NOT protect from "bad" water. 40 years ago, I had a customer that took his new trailer to the Rio Grande Valley of Texas for the winter. He came back after having the unit 8 months and came in with a Atwood W/H leak. Atwood refused to warranty the Inner tank and we replaced the Inner tank. A Coworker wanted to cut the old tank in half to make a BBQ smoker. After he cut the tank in half we found caked to the interior all sorts of minerals and such that corroded the Aluminum from the inside and caused the pin hole leaks. Fitting example of why it is a good idea to flush out the tanks on a regular basis if your water supply may be suspect. Doug
