We recommend having your traditional tank water heater flushed at least once a year. Over time, sediment (mineral deposits from the water) settles at the bottom of the tank. Flushing removes this buildup, which is necessary because accumulated sediment can:

• Reduce Efficiency: It acts as an insulator, forcing the heating element to work harder.

• Cause Noise: It creates the characteristic "rumbling" or "popping" sounds you might hear.

• Shorten Lifespan: It can corrode the tank liner and lead to premature failure.

Regular flushing is a simple maintenance step that extends the life and efficiency of your unit.
