WATER HEATER BEST PRACTICES

Your water heater is one of those appliances that you may not see everyday, but it sure does do a wonderful job providing you with hot water on call. Why not give it the attention it needs once in a while to make sure it’s running in peak condition 24/7/365? Here’s what to do:

  • Clear area: For safety, make sure a 3-foot area around your gas water heater is clear of any obstructions. This will also help out your plumber when you need maintenance or repairs.
  • Temperature: Just like your HVAC thermostat keeps your Elk River home at your specified temperature, the thermostat on your water heater maintains stored hot water at a specific temperature. This is generally around 140 to 145 degrees. You can save a bundle of energy if your turn back the thermostat to 120 degrees. Be sure to set both thermostats if your water heater has two access panels.
  • Smoke/CO detector: If you have a gas-burning water heater, make sure you have a working Smoke/CO detector within 10 feet of the appliance. Test it each season to make sure it’s working correctly.
  • Flush: Sediment and deposit accumulate on the bottom and sides of the inside of your water heater. Flush a gallon of water out of the water heater at the drain bib every other month. Completely flush out the water heater once a year, or ask your plumbing professional to do it.

Remember to schedule professional plumbing maintenance once a year for your water heater to check essential components. Water heaters are designed to last about 8 to 10 years on average, but you may get a lot more life out of it with regular preventive maintenance.

QUICK TIP FOR A LEAKING WASHING MACHINE

From using too much detergent, a broken belt, to water flooding your floor, clothes washing machine problems can put a leak on your budget and disrupt your schedule. Being water cleanup experts, we’re going to touch on a leaking washing machine problem and possible fixes.

Hopefully, that water on the floor is simply from a cold or hot water inlet hose. Make sure they are tight. If that’s not the problem, you may have a clogged drain hose. Here’s what to do:

  • Make sure there aren’t any kinks in the hose.
  • Check the hose’s lint filter.
  • Make sure the drain hose is above the level of water in the washer.
  • Remove the drain hose and flush it out with your garden hose.
