Troubleshoot Sediment in Hot Water Tanks

Provincial Tank Lining and Inspections Inc.

I was on YouTube today looking for some videos relevant to our services and came across the video below.  This video speaks specifically to maintenance on the smaller disposable tanks (119 US Gal and under) but he presents similar issues we see in the Large Hot Water Storage Tanks with manways.

Unfortunately Provincial Tank Lining and Inspections provides no services for this size of tank but when we come across them, I always mention 2 things to obtain a prolonged servicing life.

1. Flush your tank yearly.
2. Replace the anode every year or at least every second year.

This video speaks of both these required services and also highlights the dangers/expenses of accumulated sediment.



So what do I want you take home form this video that is relevant to the larger DHWSTs?

1. Preventative maintenance will give you a prolonged servicing life.
2. Your tank should have a maintenance program.
3. Sediment should be removed to prevent problems.
4. Anodes must be replace to protect unlined areas of the tank.

Contact Provincial Tank Lining and Inspections for more information pertaining to large Domestic Hot Water Storage Tanks with manways.
