@elijah.invests: No hot water at 4AM. Fixed it myself the same day. Hard water buildup, broken element, the whole thing. #realestate #landlord #rentalproperty #entrepreneur #plumbing

Don’t flush your water heater if you’ve already had it for 4+ years

Genuinely need more landlords like you, most would have taken WEEKS or even MONTHS to fix something this small

squeezing a few years out of it is looking out for yourself.
but as a land lord, its not about you anymore.
you are providing a service.
if it needs to be changed, then do it.
dont wait for it to go out on a tenet

Tankless is the way to go

FYI when you install the replacement tank change the plastic drain valve for a brass full port ball valve with cap a chain, makes flushing really easy. Those factory drain valves are very restrictive

As a plumber you would not believe how many people get sold new water heaters because they don’t know they are serviceable with replaceable parts

Future reference disconnect your water lines to help with the air flow. It allows the water to drain faster.

have you looked into getting a water softener system to help your tank and other plumbing?

Dale Wagner :
Unless the actual tank develops a hole from rust, replacing the parts and maybe using some type of sediment, buster or sediment renter is actually more economical than replacing the whole unit. If the rental units themselves have hard water, you may want to look into a water softener unit.

You need a filter system for the hard water

shouldn't you have changed the anode rod as well?

I bet that anode is pretty ate up too. The powered anodes are nice for places with hard water like this.

That water heater actually looks fairly new . I barely just replaced mine from 2002! It was still working and no leaks but I renovated and just replaced it anyways

Could try a water softener as well

user864764835608 :
You need a water softener to take the hardness out, and even if you go with a tankless water heater you still need a softener because the hardness will not give you the life expectancy for the heater.

Best tip for best flushing on any water heater, replace the port on the bottom with a full port ball valve set up so more can be flushed out. Big chunks can't get stuck nearly as easily. Best of luck brother 🙏

Do you flush your water heater? Especially if you have hard water you should flush it atleast once a year preferably twice a year due to the hard water
