Secrets About Your Water Heater
Very often, tank failure and leaks are due to rusting. However, proper
installation, maintenance and adjustment will keep your water heater rust-free
and operating at peak efficiency. Follow these steps to ensure a healthy water
heater in the East San Gabriel Valley:
- Check that your tank's anode rod has sufficient sacrificial metal
remaining on its steel wire core. Replace it when necessary.
- If you have copper or brass water heater connections (hot, cold and
recirculation loop lines), change them over to dielectric unions and plastic
lined steel nipples. This will reduce this electrolytic corrosion.
- Make sure the bottom of your tank is sediment-free. When sediment accumulates in a gas heater, it forms a barrier between the water and the
flame, slowing heat transfer. It also weakens the steel tank bottom and
exposes it to water—and to potential rusting.
- Check that your tank's surroundings aren't harmful to the tank (avoid
salt, chlorine, or other corrosive chemicals).
- Keep your heater as dry as possible. Make sure plumbing fittings are in
good condition (such as the drain valve, heating elements, and hot and cold
connections).
- Consider your tank's age before getting maintenance performed. A newer
heater will have a sufficient anode rod, but an older heater may need a new
anode. Also check for a damaged dip tube and for recalcitrant drains on an
older unit.
