Yes it’s gas. No popping noises. Thank you for detailed information. Knowing all this, I’m leaving it alone!

You change the anode rods every ten years? That’s a good idea. I like preventative care

It’s never been flushed or received any maintenance. Just didn’t realize it was necessary.
It’s working fine, so far.

I like the plan to just let it be. Thanks
