Maintenance continued-
3. Monthly, drain off a gallon of water from the storage unit to remove silt
and sediment.
4. A combination sacrificial anode rod/hot water outlet nipple has been
installed to extend tank life. The anode rod should be inspected
periodically (every 2 years) and replaced when necessary to prolong tank
life. Water conditions in your area will influence the time interval for
inspection and replacement of the anode rod. Contact the plumbing
professional who installed the storage unit or the manufacturer listed on
the rating plate for anode replacement information. The use of a water
softener may increase the speed of anode consumption. More frequent
inspection of the anode is needed when using softened (or phosphate
treated) water.
WARNING
When lifting lever of temperature-pressure relief valve, hot water will be
released under pressure. Be certain that any released water does not
result in bodily injury or property damage.
WARNING! THIS WATER MAY BE HOT.
