The life of a water heater depends on various factors, but the manufacturing quality is one of the first things to consider. Many insurers or condo associations will ask you to change your water heater every 10 years.Here are some tell-tale signs that will let you know if your water heater needs the attention of a professional plumber:
- Your water no longer gets as hot as before
- You run out of hot water faster than before
- Rust spots appear on the tank
- Hot water has a slight brownish color
In some areas, very hard water can create rust more quickly. It is recommended to carry out an annual purge to check whether there is a lot of residue in the water heater.
