Hot Water Tank Flush

Just a reminder for everyone to make sure you flush out your hot water tank once in a while. I pulled the plug and drained our HW tank yesterday. Found all kinds of stuff in the bottom from the aninode rod. Used a toothbrush to help all the little deposits out of the bottom of the tank while I flushed it by turning the fresh water back on after draining it. Also will be replacing the rod before the end of the year. Helps keep the HW tank from an early demise. As a fulltimer I feel this is a must do on the old maintainence list at least 2 times a year.

Completly used up a anode rod while in Az for the winter. When we flushewd out the tank it looked like snow in the driveway. You can get a thingy at C.W that helps in the flush process. Checked it the other day and the rod is hardly pitted but we do flush the system on a regular basis... It don't hurt.

Might also recommend flushing it out (draining ??) if you are not going to use the trailer for awhile. Even with a good anode rod, the water can get a little foul sitting in the tank. You might consider doing the same with your fresh water tank.
