Here are some tricks to make your water heater last longer and run efficiently.
- Perform a visual inspection. Once or twice a year visual checks of your tank should be a part of your water heater Maintenance. Check for loose screws, nuts, and bolts. Look out for any signs of rust corrosion or pulled water under the tank.
- Flush the water heater a couple of times a year. As part of your hot water heater maintenance, drain the tank at least twice a year. Then flush it once or twice with clean water to get rid of any sediment or debris in the tank.
- Make sure the pressure relief valve works. It’s vital to include a TMP valve test to perform his test shut off the gas or electricity first. Position the bucket right under the valve to catch the water. And then pull the valve strip lever so water vapor in a rush of air should easily come out.
If you follow this water maintenance checklist you can spot potential problems before they worsen or cause your heater to die early.
