How Often Should I Flush My Water Heater Tank?
Like any appliance in your home, your water heater needs regular attention in order to ensure it is operating correctly and extend its lifespan. Flushing your water heater's tank once per year can help to remove sludge and sediment from the inside of your tank that can cause it to malfunction. Depending on the quality of the water in your area, more frequent flushes may be warranted.
Other water heater maintenance tasks include:
- Checking your unit's anode rod for corrosion
- Verifying that the thermostat is set to the right temperature
- Visually inspecting for leaks or signs of deterioration
- Checking water pressure levels
- Checking the temperature & pressure relief valve
