The water heater is one of the most heavily used appliances in your home, providing hot water for showers, dishes, and laundry. Over time, sediment—calcium particles and mineral residue—accumulates at the bottom of the tank, reducing energy efficiency, increasing the risk of corrosion, and shortening the life of your appliance. At Entretien Pro-Actif, we recommend a partial drain once a year to remove these deposits and maintain your water heater's performance.

 

 

Why perform a partial drain?

• Better energy efficiency: Sediment insulates the water heater's heating element, increasing electricity or gas consumption to heat the water.

• Corrosion prevention: Deposits promote rust and premature wear of the tank, causing leaks and breakdowns.

• Cleaner water: A descaled water heater limits the risk of particles in your hot water and prolongs the quality of your sanitary appliances.

Consequences of neglect

• Increased consumption: A dirty heating element can increase your energy bill by 10 to 15%.

• Risk of breakdown: Excessive sediment buildup can cause cracking, water hammer, and tank failure.

• Premature corrosion: Deposits promote rust, leading to leaks that often require complete replacement of the appliance.
