Our lovely on-demand water heater has to be flushed every year. They said that when it was installed, but I didn't quite appreciate what that meant. A little too complicated for me to do just from watching videos. Way too expensive to have done professionally every year. Anyway, it's flushed.
Notice the dirty water. He did two buckets like that. Now the hot water flows great again.
They gave us a "deal" because they installed it. Some deal. This is way to big a yearly expense for us. I will have to learn how to do it. I made extensive notes, but there are a lot of things to get right and valves to deal with, and...o
I am increasingly feeling like I am too old to try to take care of the upkeep on a house. The big projects keep pushing the small ones out of focus, and small things add up to crumbling infrastructure.

Our Dada has a pump and used to flush the old one that died, so when the free flushes stop he will probably try his hand at it again ..."
ReplyDeleteOh, I didn't know they had to be flushed. I will tell Emma...she has one of those systems. I hope you can master it on your own. And if anyone can...it's you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, all... I'll get it under control, but not yet. Yeah, they need to be flushed every year!
