6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your water heater.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the water heater with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Safety Valve Check: Annually, manually operate the pressure relief valve (part of the multi-function safety valve) to ensure it is not blocked. Follow the instructions provided with the valve.
• Anode Rod Inspection: For optimal protection against corrosion, especially in hard water areas, have the anode rod inspected and replaced by a qualified technician every 1-2 years.
• Descaling: While the titanium-infused tank and Incoloy 800 heating element are designed for hard water, periodic descaling by a professional service technician may be beneficial in areas with extremely hard water.
• Leak Checks: Regularly inspect all pipe connections for any signs of leaks. Address any leaks immediately to prevent damage.
