called plumber at 7ish am Monday, she answered right away, talked a bit about the space and size and gallons of existing unit, thought we were going to get a 30 gallon tank for the replacement as that would take the same amount of space as the previous one, but when they arrived in the afternoon they had the 40 gallon size and that had more insulation added so would take up more space. it still fit but we lost our spot to put the soap along the edge.
i did try to get the tank drained before they got here but it wasn't happening very fast and even after they got here and hooked up a different hose it still didn't drain very fast and they ended up moving it with some water still in it.
new one went in, got it going and flushed the system out and later on in the afternoon Mom was able to get a shower when she came home and i could get the dishes done before that so pretty much all was well.
the new unit is very quiet compared to the previous one...
