7. Wow, nice! There's no reason that a h2o shouldn't last a long time, unless you got some weird stuff in your water

that overly reacts w/ your water in the water heater. I have one pushing over 11 years so far, and it'll continue to go too, for, I hope much longer. I think the best thing is to periodically flush out your water heater, which I do (when I don't really need any hot water at the time, no showers or dishwater or washers are planned to run that particular day. This seems to help.

Congrats on a lucky (or not planned) purchase of an appliance that is lasting forever, how lucky are we in that sort of a purchase?!
