The region's hard water can shorten the service life of these home appliances. In these conditions, the average lifespan for a traditional tank unit can be 8 to 12 years. This accelerated wear is caused by mineral buildup accumulating inside the tank.
The publication details specific warning signs of potential failure. These indicators include rusty water from hot taps, unusual popping sounds during operation, inconsistent water temperatures, and any visible leaks around the unit's base.
A unit's age is presented as a primary factor for consideration. Homeowners are advised to plan for a replacement if their current unit is over a decade old to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected failure. The guide also explains how to find a unit's manufacturing date from its serial number.
The guide also covers proactive maintenance that can extend a unit's service life. It notes the value of annual flushing to remove sediment buildup from the area's hard water. Regularly checking the anode rod is also recommended to prevent internal tank corrosion.
For those who determine a new unit is necessary, the material provides information on selecting an appropriate model. It covers sizing a new water heater for a household's needs and choosing between available fuel types.
Stallion Plumbing and Drains includes local compliance information in its guide. New installations in Salt Lake City require a permit to ensure work meets safety standards. As required by Utah plumbing codes, all units must be secured with seismic strapping to prevent tipping during an earthquake.
Stallion Plumbing and Drains is a local company focused on educating area homeowners about plumbing maintenance. "Our goal is to provide residents with the knowledge to make informed decisions," said a company representative. "Proactive planning helps avoid the costs and stress of emergency repairs."
