Hot Water Maintenance

Ensure that your hot water tank or tankless water heater is performing at its best and help extend your water heating system’s life with regularly scheduled hot water maintenance from Lenox Plumbing.

Reasons to Maintain Your Hot Water Systems

Making sure that your traditional hot water tank or tankless water heater receives regularly scheduled maintenance from a professional plumber is crucial to not only helping the system run to the best of its abilities, but also ensuring that it lasts for as long as possible. By preserving your water heater’s life, you can put off prematurely replacing it. And, many maintenance practices can also help you to avoid costly repairs along the way.

There are some water tank maintenance practices you can safely do on your own if you feel comfortable, such as draining or flushing the tank. When planning for hot water maintenance, you can stick to the suggested manufacturer maintenance plan or seek the advice of a plumbing professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hot water maintenance may not be mandatory, but it is highly encouraged by plumbers and manufacturers alike. Similar to any other appliance or machine, a hot water tank needs regular maintenance to be well-taken care of and to function properly and at its best. Regular maintenance will also extend the life of your water heater tank or tankless system.

Over time, naturally occurring minerals, sand, and grit settle in the bottom of hot water tanks. These sediments can cause a wide range of performance problems as well as lead to costly repairs. Flushing your tank at least one a year (unless the tank hasn’t been flushed in the last three years, then you should refrain from flushing it yourself and contact a professional) will clean out your tank and prevent these issues. Read our blog post to learn more about why your tank needs to be flushed and how you can do it yourself.

ScaleRX protects your water heater from limescale build-up and keeps it running efficiently. It requires no power supply, batteries, chemicals, or filters. ScaleRX uses a patented Turbulent Galvanic Polarization (TGP) system to disrupt the formation of limescale crystals on water heater elements. In side-by-side comparison testing, ScaleRX was four times more effective than the leading electronic scale device. ScaleRX is easy to install and maintenance free.

It depends on what type of water heater it is, how often it’s used and maintained, what type of climate it’s in, the quality of water cycling through it, and how well the system was initially installed. Read our blog post “How Long Does A Water Heater Last?” to learn more.
