What Is the Purpose of Flushing a Water Heater?
We’d all like to believe that the water coming into our homes via our plumbing systems is 100% pure and free of contaminants. Of course, there are plenty of things that we want that just aren’t very likely. Even if your water comes from a treated, public supply, it is very likely that it is going to wind up picking up sediment or containing minerals. When those mineral deposits and that sediment build up in the bottom of your water heater, problems start to develop.
The best way in which to prevent these problems is to get rid of those contaminants, and you can do just that by having your hot water tank flushed annually. This will prevent the mineral deposits and sediment from generating an insulating layer at the bottom of your water tank, which can force your system to work harder than it should have to in order to heat water. Plus, there is less risk of these substances clogging up your pipes and leading to ruptures due to pressure issues.
