WATER HEATER TIPS:
CHECK YOUR ANODE ROD AT LEAST YEARLY. The anode rod in your water heater is designed to attract corrosion causing elements in the water to the anode rod, helping to prevent
corrosion of the steel waterheater tank itself. The anode rod should be inspected yearly and changed
when it has been reduced to about 1/4 of its original size, in order to avoid leaks in your water heater caused
by corrosion of the tank. How often the anode rod will need to be replaced will depend on how hard your water is.
In most of the Phoenix-Scottsdale valley, the water is very hard. Your anode rod will no doubt need to be replaced fairly
often. This is a relatively inexpensive plumbing repair call, however, which can help extend the life of your water
heater.
FLUSH YOUR WATER HEATER: IS YOUR HOT WATER HEATER making
gurgling, banging or popping noises? Are you noticing your water is not as hot as it used
to be, or there doesn't seem to be enough hot water? Does your hot water have an unpleasant odor? You may have
a problem with mineral build-up in the heater. MOST WATER HEATER MANUFACTURERS recommend that you FLUSH
YOUR WATER HEATER at least once a year to reduce the build up of minerals in the heater. Minerals and
hard water scale accumulations inside the tank or on an electric water heater’s heating elements can decrease the efficiency
of your hot water heater and may even make it fail prematurely. If this build-up has already occurred, flushing may
not completely solve the problem; you may need to replace the water heater elements. To avoid scale build-up in the
first place, every year you need to flush your tank. First, be sure to turn the power or gas off to the heater.
Then, you'll need to drain the tank. After the tank has drained, close the drain and open the cold water valve.
Let the tank fill to about half full, then drain again. Repeat this process a few times until the water you see draining
from the tank is clear. Refill the tank and you're set for another year! If you're not sure how to flush your
water heater, feel free to call our office and ask one of our plumbing experts for advice. And, if you're noticing
your water has an unpleasant odor, check our tip about using peroxide in your water heater to remove that unpleasant oder.
TO CONSERVE ENERGY COSTS, consider
insulating the water pipes from your water heater to faucets located at a distance from your heater. Also
consider installing a POINT-OF-USE-WATER-HEATER.
If you have any questions, or any problems,
feel free to call us any time during business hours. We're happy to help!

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD about
the recent incident where a WATERHEATER BLEW UP
at a Phoenix home! That dangerous event occurred due to a plugged T&P
(temperature and pressure) relief valve on the heater. Make sure your T&P valve is
not plugged. Trip the lever and watch to see that water is draining to the outside of your home.
If not, HAVE THE VALVE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY!
Don’t take a chance with your family’s safety.

WATER HEATER CAPACITY AND EFFICIENCY
WATER HEATER CAPACITY: Larger heaters not only cost more, your energy bills will be higher as a result of maintaining the temperature
of a larger tank of water. Don't waste money buying a larger water heater than you need. Rather than basing a purchase
decision on the size of a water heater tank, consider the First Hour Rating (FHR), or peak hour demand of a heater
when making your decision on what size water heater you need. The FHR is listed on the Energy Guide label on all
water heaters, and will tell you how much hot water that unit will produce in the first hour of use demand. Our experienced
technicians can help you determine your capacity needs, and guide you in purchasing the most appropriate water heater, which
can save you money both on the initial purchase and on operating costs. WATER HEATER EFFIECIENCY: Gas water heaters
have an Energy Factor (EF) that indicates their efficiency level. The gas water heaters we sell are the newer,
high efficiency (high EF) units and may qualify for any discount programs your gas company may currently be sponsoring.
Be sure to check with your local gas provider if you are purchasing a new gas water heater.

SAFETY FACTS FOR WATER HEATERS:
When you purchase a new water heater,
the thermostat will either be preset at the factory or will be set by your plumber for the recommended maximum
temperature of 120 degrees. We NEVER recommend increasing water heater termperature beyond this recommended setting.
First, this a safety issue. Setting the temperature at no higher than 120 degrees will help to avoid scalding from excessively
hot water. Secondly, keeping the temperature at this safe level also means the elements and controls (the water heater
thermostats) will not work as hard. This can not only save you energy costs, but may also extend the life of the elements
and thermostats. This
setting should provide plenty of hot water to satisfy your household's requirements if the tank has been sized properly.
See our recommendations about WATER HEATER SIZING. Please
remember to have your water heater installed only by a licensed PLUMBER. A licensed plumber will know what the proper
temperature setting is, and will be sure the heater is set to that temperature for your family's safety. A licensed
plumber will also make sure the water heater installation is according to all applicable codes. A licensed plumber will also ensure the
relief valve is installed correctly and functioning as it should. If something on your water heater should malfunction,
the water in the tank can superheat to temperatures in excess of 210 degrees and/or pressure in the tank can build up
to exceed 160 lbs. The relief valve on your water heater is designed to release water if this happens, preventing the
tank from exploding. Don't take chances with your family's safety! Have your water heater professionally installed,
and have it inspected periodically to make sure the controls, elements, and that all-important relief valve are all working
properly. See our MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT for information about how you can have an annual plumbing inspection, including an inspection of your
water heater.
