Sediment buildup killing tanks early
Why it happens here
Seminole Lakes water carries dissolved minerals that settle at the bottom of the tank as scale. That layer insulates the burner from the water, so the tank runs hotter and longer, and the steel fatigues faster. Tanks here often fail at 8 to 10 years instead of 12.
Our approach
We flush every new tank before install, fit a fresh anode rod, and offer an annual sediment flush. That single service can add three to four years to a tank in this ZIP code.
