Heard of it with people who have wells instead of city water, never personally encountered it.

Yes this is a common consequence of not hiring union plumbers. The rookie makes the mistake of purchasing the portal to hell water heater. Although saving you big bucks on water heating the collateral damage is oft severe.

Those surprisingly cheap up-model water heaters you get from your Portuguese-speaking connects are cheap because removing the contained body is left as a task to the installer.

Has a bad anode rod. They are easy to replace. But being a new heater I'd just get a new heater. I'm assuming it's under warranty

I had my construction days as a youngster ....my rebellious self thought that getting away from the family business would be better ...((not so much))....but in that time I worked construction building custom homes for a small company ....we did everything start to finish ....lil Inda always points to a house i built close by when we pass it ....I remember the quick break time tokes and burrito truck tall can lunches ......even built my grandmother a little western town at the home ranch ....il take pics next time I'm out .....the church is the coolest and what I was most proud of .....but the other buildings look very cool as well ...I used reclaimed lumber from when our huge original hay barn fell ....buildings look like they've always been there....
