Servicing a hot water tank that hasn't been touched in 8 years! Lately our hot water hasn't been lasting as long so I decided to look into it. As a homeowner I feel I have a obligation to educate myself and try to do basic maintenance on our heating system to save a little money. My wife and I had our Buderus oil fired hydronic heating system installed 8 years ago. Since that time I have never inspected or serviced our hot water tank. I learned there is a piece of sacrificial metal inside the tank called an anode rod. This rod acts as the weak link within the tank. It is designed to be eaten away by the minerals in the water rather than the minerals eating away your expensive water tank. The problem is that without routine maintenance, this rod can completely rot away, leaving your expensive tank unprotected. It's said that with routine maintenance you can double the life of your tank. Follow along and I will show you what I did to get my tank running like new again. This includes inspecting the tank, examining the dip tube, removing the anode rod, flushing out the tank, installing a new anode rod and refilling the tank. I even build a neat little tool to help jet out the tank!
