    Water heater manufacturers recommend flushing sediment from your storage type water heater periodically. How often your model needs to be flushed depends upon the quality of the water in your area. Areas with high mineral content will have to flush more often. I do mine every three months, if you need to know how to flush your water heater come back and we will tell you how to flush, good luck.
