Why Flushing Your Water Heater Matters for Comfort and Efficiency


September 25, 2025

Your water heater is one of the hardest-working appliances in your home—providing hot water for showers, cleaning, cooking, and more. But over time, sediment and mineral buildup inside the tank can reduce efficiency, cause damage, and even shorten its lifespan.

That’s why Cool Today recommends regular water heater flushing to keep your system running smoothly and your energy bills low.

Sediment Buildup: The Hidden Enemy Inside Your Tank

Florida’s hard water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that settle at the bottom of your water heater tank. Over months and years, this sediment layer can:

  • Reduce heating efficiency, making your water heater work harder
  • Cause strange noises like rumbling or banging
  • Lead to overheating and premature wear
  • Affect water quality with cloudy or smelly water

Ignoring these signs could mean costly repairs or early replacement down the line.

How Often Should You Flush Your Water Heater?

For most homes, flushing your water heater once a year is ideal. If you have particularly hard water or notice signs like noisy operation or inconsistent hot water, more frequent flushing might be necessary.
