How Often Should You Flush a Water Heater in Hemet?

How often to flush

For most homes, once a year is the rule of thumb. In Hemet, with our hard water, twice a year isn’t overkill for heavy use or very hard supplies. Tankless units should be descaled on a similar schedule.

Signs you’re overdue

Flush sooner if you notice:

• Popping or rumbling from the tank
• Slightly rusty or cloudy hot water
• Less hot water than before
• Higher energy bills

Why it matters

Regular flushing keeps the heater efficient and can add years to its life — delaying an expensive replacement. It’s one of the highest-value maintenance tasks for a Hemet home.
