Prolong the life of your Water Heater

Another question I am asked quite a bit after installing a Water Heater is "what can I do to make my Water Heater last as long as possible?" 

My answer is always to make sure your flush it at least once a year. 

The easiest way to do this is to grab your garden hose and hook it up to the valve at the bottom of your water heater, run it to an exterior location of the home and if it's not possible find the nearest tub (make sure the shower curtain or door is closed, and then turn the valve on at the bottom of the heater where you connected your garden hose and let it run for about 15-20 minutes. 

This flushes all debris and sediment out of your water heater tank therefore cleaning it up.

I always say make it part of your spring cleaning so that you never forget.

If you practice this you are going to get the most life out of your water heater.
