How to preserve your water heater.

Flushing your water heater is important because it helps remove sediment buildup from the tank, which can affect its efficiency and lifespan. Sediment, usually from minerals in the water, can settle at the bottom of the tank and create a barrier between the water and the heating element. This can lead to overheating, reduced efficiency, and eventually, tank damage. Regular flushing helps maintain optimal performance, prolong the life of the heater, and ensure you’re getting hot water as needed.
