6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your water heater.
- Descaling: Depending on water hardness, limescale can build up inside the tank and on the heating element. Periodic descaling by a qualified technician is recommended to maintain efficiency.
- Safety Valve Check: Periodically check the safety valve for proper operation. Refer to the safety valve manufacturer's instructions for specific testing procedures.
- Connections: Inspect water and electrical connections regularly for any signs of leaks or damage.
