Here’s what this particular customers well water did to brass fittings after about 12 yrs. That grey on the pipe is latex paint.

Those are my socks on top of the mud pile. 
Still playing in mud piles, I see!
Honestly, when I see pictures like this, all I can think of is.....OH HELL NO!

That mud was very heavy and so soupy it would run off the shovel.
90 degree heat with some humidity.
My forearms and wrists were on fire. Came home and wrapped them in ice packs for 30 minutes on and off for a few hours. Good as new
Oh look, they even have a little diving board for that puddle.
More fun today !!!!
The last pic is a 1 x 3/4” steel bushing they screwed into a 1” copper fip adapter to connect to a 3/4” meter.
It’s been there about 35 yrs.

Look at that sharkbite on that relief valve piping. Copper directly into the heater.
I think it’s legal
That appears to be an optical "delusion" to me because I see the water heater's hot and cold pipes tied together at the point the "4-fitting" where the expansion tank is mounted. I need coffee.
just the pic perspective but it looks like the expansion tank is on the hot side?!
The expansion tanks on the cold side.
There are fittings that offset the water pipes, the hot/cold water pipe didn’t line up with the water heaters inlets.
I installed the heater. The owner supplied the water heater, pan, expansion tank.
I charged him $600 labor to remove the old one, install the pan and connect the new heater.
The heater is located in the laundry room and the driveway is 10 steps from the water heater. Vacant house.
2.25 hrs time plus fittings. 3 miles from my office.

That dog'll hunt! :O)
They all leak 
Flex Seal to the rescuse? That stuff floats my boat!
22 yr old Hotpoint 40 gal gas.
It’s leaking. Contemplating on going tankless but the gas line needs upgrading.
But if they don’t turn the oven on it’ll have enough gas to run 200k BTU.
If they turn the oven on then it’s going to throw a code.
It’s a one bath house and they’re going to throttle the hot water outlet so they don’t exceed the available gas flow, if they need to. They will eventually update the gas line but can’t afford it right now.
So basically we’re going to hamstring the Unit so it can’t ask for max gas volume.

I replaced this plastic water heater drain with a Rheem factory ballvalve.
