We covered how ALL Water Heaters are subject to sediment buildup, how the sediment is formed by the minerals in water precipitated out by the act of heating it, and how it doesn’t matter where your water comes from, whether city or well, all water carries dissolved minerals in suspension.
We also know 85% of the water in America contains enough dissolved minerals to be classified as hard water, and even worse 24 million people in America have homes affected by highly corrosive water, read more here.
