Tankless Water Heater Maintenance Tips
If you're a homeowner with a tankless water heater, you can do some simple maintenance to keep it running smoothly. Here are three things you should consider (always check your owner's manual for specific instructions):
- Annual Flush: It's a good idea to give your tankless water heater a flush at least once a year. If you have really hard water, you might need to do this more often to prevent mineral buildup.
- Filter Cleaning: Some tankless models have filters for air or cold water intake. Be sure to clean these filters regularly to keep the water flowing strong.
- Exterior Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the unit (just avoid cleaning the fan blades, heat exchanger, or burner). This helps you spot any rust or issues. If you see rust, don't hesitate to contact your local Mr. Rooter Plumbing for assistance.
