Sediment buildup from well water
Why it happens here
Well water in Peachland carries more minerals than city water, and those minerals settle at the bottom of the tank. Over time, the sediment layer grows, insulates the heating element, and causes the tank to overheat and fail early.
Our approach
We flush the tank and inspect the anode rod on every service call. For well water homes, we recommend annual flushes and install a higher-capacity anode rod to slow corrosion. If the tank is too far gone, we replace it with a sediment-tolerant model.
