How to Prevent Water Heater Failure

You can avoid cold showers and the inconvenience of water heater breakdowns with just a few simple steps. Here are some tips on how to keep your water heater running smooth:

  • Flush Your Water Heater Once a Year– Over time, sediment builds up in the pips and storage tank of your water heater, reducing efficiency. Flushing your water heater once a year with vinegar can dramatically reduce this negative effect!
  • Request Professional Maintenance– Manufacturers recommend that you have your water heater serviced by a professional plumber once a year. An Outstanding professional can do more than flush the unit: he will also check the wiring and operation conditions.
  • Soften Your Water– If you, like many homeowners in this area, suffer from hardness in your water supply, you may want to consider water softening solutions in Smithtown. A point-of-use softener can reduce the mineral content of the water in your hot water heater, greatly improving the lifespan of the tank.
  • Watch for the Anode Rod– Your water heater tank is protected from interior rust by an anode rod that attracts ionization before it can happen to the walls of your water heater. When the anode rod wears away, however, it needs to be replaced. You’ll know your anode rod needs replacing when there’s a musty odor coming from your appliance.
  • After 10 Years, Replace– The lifespan of a conventional water heater is between 8 and 12 years, but several factors including water quality can cause it to be shorter. Don’t risk a water heater emergency — be prepared, and you’ll save money and time!
