Trusted Heroes For Every Task

Your water might look clean and crystal clear, but it may contain minerals such as calcium and magnesium that can impact your water heater’s lifespan. Water quality affects everything from its palatability to appliance lifespan, piping lifespan, detergent use, and cleaning. As a homeowner, it’s important to know what’s in your water and take the necessary measures to improve its quality. A water softening and filtration system installed by an experienced commercial plumber can remove hard water minerals, impurities, and contaminants from the water supplied to your home.

Bobby Hett

We had a main line drain clog under the house. Russell was our technician and approached the problem from outside the house, working retrograde from a trap in the front yard. I was skeptical but it worked when my efforts with a cable inside the house had failed. He was very professional and pleasant to deal with.  We asked him to install a cleanout closer to the house for future use and we were very satisfied with the work.

Tyler is the best! He came to our parent's house, knew exactly what the problem was, and explained it to us without the typical guesswork. I'd recommend him any time you need a good plumber.

In this blog post, the plumbers at Service Hero look into how water quality affects your water heater’s lifespan. Our specialists will share tips that will help you prolong the lifespan of your water heater and make the most out of the appliance. Remember, Service Hero is the company you can rely on when you need commercial water heater installation and repair.

  • Hard Water and Mineral Buildup

As hard water is heated, the minerals separate and settle at the bottom of the tank as sediment. Over time, sediment buildup forms a thick layer that forces the heating elements or burner to work harder to heat the water. This reduces the heater’s efficiency, increases energy bills, and can cause overheating that damages internal components. In severe cases, excessive sediment leads to tank failure. It’s advisable to install a water softening system at the point of entry to eliminate hard water minerals.

  • Corrosion and Rust Formation

If your water has a low pH or contains high levels of dissolved oxygen, it can corrode metal components inside the water heater. Rust weakens the tank lining and reduces the tank’s lifespan. Although water heaters include an anode rod designed to attract corrosive elements, poor water quality can cause the rod to deteriorate quickly. You may notice discolored water coming out of your hot water faucets when the anode rod is worn out. Call a local commercial plumber to replace the anode rod and improve your water quality.

  • Impact on Heating Elements and Burners

Minerals and debris in the water can coat electric heating elements and reduce their ability to transfer heat efficiently. This leads to longer heating times and inconsistent water temperatures. In gas water heaters, sediment buildup can block the burner or disrupt heat transfer. If you’re getting inadequate hot water, you’re probably dealing with buildup on heating elements. Get in touch with a commercial plumbing repair service before things get worse.

  • Reduced Water Flow and Pressure

Poor water quality can also affect valves and pipes connected to your water heater. Scale buildup narrows passageways and reduces water flow. This can lead to elevated pressure, which eventually places stress on the tank and safety valves. Watch out for fluctuating water pressure and reach out to a commercial plumbing repair service for help.

The Role of Filtration and Water Treatment

Installing a water softener or whole-home filtration system can improve water quality. These systems reduce mineral content, limit sediment accumulation, and protect internal components. Treated water allows your water heater to operate more efficiently and last longer. Contact a commercial plumber in San Diego, CA to test your water and install a reliable water softener and filter.
