Drain The Bottom Of Your Hot Water Heater

Twelve months ago I hooked up a garden hose to the faucet on the bottom of the water heater, and I drained out the calcium/magnesium that had settled out. Doing this is important because it takes much more energy to heat the water through this coating on the bottom of your hot water heater tank. A lot of white gunk came out when I did it 12 months ago.

By draining out the bottom regularly you save money on natural gas.

-
Today I did it again. I was really shocked at how much white stuff came out. After only one year. I'll bet that many people NEVER drain the bottom of their water heater.
