It's actually named for a French liqueur that's been produced for several hundred years.

Starter replaced, also fixed air leak at the dryer and coolant leak on APU thanks to the constant tension clamps that do anything but maintain constant tension. Got reloaded this morning and headed for Dumas, Arkansas. Unload there Friday morning, unless I can get lucky and get it done tomorrow afternoon, and then home for a while.
Navy Brat will be landing at the airport before lunchtime on Saturday, first time home sense leaving for bootcamp and dealing with the neverending quarantines during bootcamp and school. She will be home til the 6th.

How long has she been gone? I lost track.
She left the beginning of March, just days before the Covid nonsense went into hyperoverdrive.
A squid, but yeah!

Did you even make an attempt to diagnose the problem?
Yep, it's been diagnosed as a cheap ass Lowes unit with bad heating elements. The heating elements are being replaced by replacing the entire unit with a better unit.

Mine spits gas bubbles ever since I replaced my well pump switch and have been running lower pressure
My theory is it's that sulfate gas caused by the magnesium anode and at higher pressures it stays dissolved into the water.
I mean I know it's sulfate gas from the magnesium but I didn't have the gas bubbles when it was running 55 psi.
No idea why they installed an electric unit when we have gas here at the house for the heat and for the stove.
If it had been gas, I would have spent about twice as much and got a tankless system installed. Instead, just sticking with an electric water heater. Having a Bradford installed in place of the AO Smith junk from Lowes.
Code has been updated since the house was built in 2017, so now they have to install a electric cutoff in the heater closet as well. Fine with that because it saves me from having to walk the additional 3 feet to the regular breaker box to cut off the power, LOL

You don't have toxic exhaust gases to vent with an electric one.
Those go out the bathroom vent

But then he wouldn't have the new & latest water heater technology with all the bells and whistles.Coulda put higher quality elements in for less money
Mike, remove the anode rods from the old one and see if they're totally eaten up. That'll tell you how long you can expect the new one to last.

It would be cool if you could program it to bump the water temp up to 160 for a couple hours in the middle of the night, once every 2 weeks to kill the "harmless" bacteria that eats the magnesium anode and makes egg smelling stink bubbles.
