Hi Mark,

Mine failed by leaking but I think it was operator error.  I didn’t drain the lines completely and I think they froze.  I’ve taken better care and the replacement didn’t fail. 
In my case just draining the tank isn’t enough I need to get the water out of the entire system to avoid damage by freezing.
