Indirect Water Heater not level ?

Hello, I recently had my indirect water heater replaced due to a leak in the internal coil. When the plumber replaced it, he got the same exact unit and used a lot of the same connections etc. But the unit doesn't look perfectly level. It seems stable and not noticable to the naked eye but should I be concerned it's not perfectly plum?

    Only if you have OCD. It will work just fine 1/2 a bubble off

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    Hi, I'm not thrilled to see the tank help up on one side with a small block of wood. Looks like something to go wrong in future. I'd rather see a much broader support that couldn't so easily fail and possibly damage the piping. 🤔

    Yours, Larry

    Thanks for the feedback, it's got feet that are propping it up. I put the wood there as a precaution so there is something for the tank to sit on if for whatever reason if it were to shift forward etc. I can remove it and it would be the same position. Couldn't fit it on the other end due to the height.

    I usually use 4" electrical box covers for shims. They are cheap (at least they used to be)
