Clue #1: Age. The older the water heater, the more likely it is to break down. As a general rule, a tank type water heater will last, on average 8 to 12 years. With proper maintenance and a little luck, you may be able to nearly double the lifespan of your water heater. But sometimes even with the best care, a water heater will need to be replaced after only a few years.
As most people would vary the settings, depending on the temperature, the gas bottle will last some duration between 147 and 367 hours. So, if you use your heater for four hours every evening, you would expect your gas bottle to last anywhere from 37 to 92 days. Hot Water Consumption Calculations: A 16L/min 130MJ 5.0 Star continuous flow hot water heater running at full capacity will last for 16.9 hours of actual run time. This equates to about 204 five minute showers. However, the water heater can run at a flow rate of as little as 3.5L/min. When running slower, the unit will self-modulate and consume less gas. This would increase the run time by roughly 4X or to about 68 hours.
