How do you tell when a water heater is going bad?

Signed asked:


The water heater is about 14 years old and seems to work fine. There are no obvious leaks, rust stains and plenty of hot water. But the water where I live is very hard and I’ve heard the average life on a heater is about 10 years. I don’t like to wait for emergencies to happen on the other hand there isn’t any point in replacing something that is working.
