Regular maintenance is important to keeping your tankless water heater running efficiently and to extending its lifespan. With daily usage, it is common for tankless water heaters to have a layer of mineral build up, also known as scaling. This scaling needs to be flushed intermittently. In this guide, we will cover everything you need to know about flushing a tankless water heater.
Why Flushing is Important for Your Tankless Water Heater
In tankless water heaters, water passes through a heat exchanger and deliver continuous supply of hot water, over time, minerals like calcium and magnesium found in hard water accumulate on the heat exchanger, reducing its heating capacity and increasing the energy usage.
Regularly descaling a tankless water heater ensures the system operates efficiently and prevents costly repairs or even early replacement.
Benefits of Flushing Your Tankless Water Heater
Improves efficiency: Flushing removes mineral deposits that restrict water flow and reduce heating
