Why “Flushing” your Water Heater isn’t enough
As a responsible owner of a Water Heater, you understand basic maintenance advice to keep your investment working well for years to come. You make sure the Cold Water entering your Water Heater is filtered, you test the TPR Valve (Temperature Pressure Relief), and most importantly, you Flush your Water Heater Annually.
What if I told you the last step (Flushing) does little to nothing to actually remove any of the built-up sediment? Would you feel upset that you spent countless hours draining, refilling, and heating up the water just to have a little spec of sediment come out of the drain? The fact is, sediment is comprised of built-up minerals, it’s closer to rock and concrete than anything.
Sorry to break it to you, but this means the act of draining, and even reverse flushing will NOT dislodge the sediment. Yes, plumbing companies offer this Flushing service, it’s recommended by Water Heater manufacturers, and even Bob Vila. But it simply does not excavate the sediment out, it’s impossible.
“Okay Ian, why would they recommend flushing then?” You ask. Well, it is because flushing is the best-known way to slow down sediment accumulation in Hot Water Tanks. They are only preaching the best process they know, and we can’t fault them for that. We can, however, present Crystal Clear’s service WILL REMOVE sediment from your Water Heater in LESS time than it takes to do a flush and fill. The bonus is our service leaves plenty of Hot water in the tank so you can get back to your shower in a jiffy, sediment-free! Book a service here, and let Crystal Clear save your Water Heater.
