Although it’s detailed in the manual, many homeowners skip over the maintenance suggestions and skip to the hot shower. We can’t blame you for wanting to enjoy a nice shower, though these simple tips can extend the enjoyment of your hot water heater for many years to come.
As water is constantly being heated within your tank, sediment and minerals tend to collect on the bottom. These deposits can reduce the effectiveness and lifespan of your hot water heater. Tanks with excessive mineral and sediment build-up also take longer to heat up and use more energy than necessary even under ideal conditions. That is why, the recommend servicing your hot water heater on an annual basis in order to remove these deposits.
Removing Hot Water Tank Deposits
To remove sediments from your hot water tank, all that is required is a little time and a bucket. With your bucket placed under the hot water tank’s spigot, open the valve and let the water drain until it is no longer cloudy. We recommend dumping your bucket outdoors in a place where you do not intend to grow grass, flowers, or other vegetation, as it’s best not to reintroduce these deposits into your plumbing system.
Another great tip that you only need to do once is insulate your hot water heater. This can enhance your hot water heater’s efficiency by up to 45%!
Hope this help you.
