Since it would be hard to move this water heater, and time consuming, the decision was made to go around it. The WaterGuard was installed close to the sides of the water heater, and then a small track was attached to the floor in front of it. The idea is that if any water leaks from behind the water heater, it will hit the track and trickle off to the WaterGuard system. Also, if any water should leak out of the water heater itself, that will be handled by the same system.
