Keep Your Water Heater Healthy

Simply draining all the water out of your heater every six months can extend the life of your heater by years. The sediment that builds up over time can put an added strain on the heaters elements and hot water output. This simple task will save you money and provides more hot water.


Step By Step Instructions

1. Shut off the power to your hot water heater at the breaker box if it is an electric heater.
2. .Shut off the cold water inlet at the heater. The valve should be located on the pipe going in the right side of the heater.
3. Then open the hot water side of a faucet near the heater to relieve pressure.
4. At the bottom of the tank attach a hose to the hot water heater drain valve and run the hose outside. Then open the valve up.
5. .After the heater is done draining close off the drain valve, and turn the cold water inlet back on.
6. After water begins to come out of the faucet that you opened up you can turn it off and then turn the power to the water heater back on.

All done! Congratulations, you just saved yourself money.
