As a coffee machine service tech, I view lime formation as job security.

"Water Heater Rescue exists to teach people how to maintain hot water heaters to last for decades -- a unique concept. My house insurance policy contains a clause that says that water damage due to a water heater isn't covered if the water heater is more than 10 years old....

A few years ago I helped a guy pull a water-heater out of a house because we couldn't drain it. When we got it outside we discovered it was full of calcium sludge....yeah....

When I was a kid, I did not know about water heaters in the house. I thought that if you turned the spigot that had an “H” on it, that the hot water would “flow” from some central location in the middle of town.

I haven’t heard of de-liming a tank but I suppose it’s possible.

(Using George Carlin delivery) Why is it called a hot water heater? If the water is hot, why heat it? It's actually a cold water heater. When was the last time you drank from the cool water cooler?

I heard that tang will break down calcium and lime. Never tried it myself.

Most of the grunge can be flushed out if drained regularly through the drain spigot, something that a lot of people never bother with. Some lime is good, it patches microscopic holes in the liner.

I did not know that there is a sacrificial anode in the water heater. I’ll be having a look at mine tomorrow. Good post.

In some it is a separate rod, in others it is part of the cold water inlet.
