Like any other water heater, tankless models will need routine maintenance to ensure efficiency and repairs are done early. Minerals and debris can build up over time, potentially restricting water flow and causing damage to the water heater.
To prevent issues down the road, here's what should be on your tankless water heater maintenance checklist:
- Water heater flush – It's important that this is done at least once a year to prevent mineral buildup.
- Filter check – Some tankless water heaters have a filter that needs to be checked for clogs and debris.
- Descaling – Descaling should be done every 1-2 years to keep the heat exchanger clean and prevent any buildup.
- Pressure relief valve check – The pressure relief valve should be checked to ensure it functions correctly.
