Water heaters are definitely durable and
long-lasting. Some can be used for 10 years while
some last even longer. But without proper care
and maintenance, you can expect repairs every now
and then or worse, anticipate saying goodbye to
it earlier.
4
To help you prolong the life of your water
heating system, here are some tips you should
know and religiously follow.
5

• There are times when youll want to raise the
  temperature of your water heater. Just make sure
  that youll turn it down to 125 degrees
  Fahrenheit to prevent instances of scalding.

6

• If you have a tank-type water heater, replace its
  anode rod when rust is already noticeable. This
  will not only prevent your water from turning
  yellow or smelling nasty but will also keep the
  tank corrosion-free.

7

• Check on your TP valve once in a while and
  discharge it annually. If you see signs of
  leakage, have it repaired or replaced by a
  professional.

8

• To contribute on your heating units efficiency,
  insulate it with a fiberglass jacket. This
  especially applies to older water heater models.
  New ones already have energy efficiency features.

9

• If you have stuff lying around the area where
  your water heater is installed, ensure that
  youll give your unit about 2 feet of clearance.

10

• Do not forget your hot and cold water supply
  lines. Insulate them with foam to avoid
  condensation during summer or when the
  temperature outside is really hot.

11

• Last but definitely not the least, have your
  water heater tank flushed regularly. Doing so
  will remove sediments that accumulate at the
  bottom of the tank.

These are all the maintenance tasks that you can
do to keep your water heater in great condition.
