I replaced a 7 y-o water heater because, after being partly submerged during a hurricane's surge, turning on the breaker resulted in a plume of smoke.
Days later, when the plumber replaced it, it was put out by the curb. Looking at the now-exposed wire connections, I realized that the heater was still good.
As a backup, I'd previously purchased a 20-gallon, 120-V, water heater for $50.
Small, it may have been smaller than 20-gallon.
Those two "take-outs" I sold to the above contractor for $150. (Explaining all that I knew). So, I was "ahead"...sorta...
