5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your water heater. Always disconnect power and water supply before performing any maintenance.
Routine Checks:
- Visual Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of leaks, corrosion, or damage to the unit or connections.
- Pressure Relief Valve: Test the pressure relief valve annually by lifting the lever. Ensure water flows out and the valve reseats properly.
Draining the Tank:
If the unit will be unused for an extended period or exposed to freezing temperatures, it is recommended to drain the tank:
- Turn off the power supply to the water heater.
- Turn off the cold water supply to the unit.
- Open a hot water faucet to relieve pressure.
- Connect a hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the unit and direct it to a suitable drain.
- Open the drain valve to empty the tank.
- Once drained, close the drain valve and disconnect the hose.
Anode Rod Inspection:
The magnesium anode rod protects the inner tank from corrosion. It should be inspected and replaced every 1-3 years, depending on water quality. Consult a qualified technician for this procedure.
