| We are now building a new house here in Missouri and this is the first gas or LP hot water heater I have ever had. I have always had an electric version and I would like to know what type of preventive maintenance I need to know about in this hot water heater?
Thanks in advance for your posts. Andy |

| I would ask the installer for the paperwork that came with the unit. If not, get the make , model and s/n and go to the manufacturers website. |

| Make absolutely sure you don't have a closed plumbing system If you do then correct for thermal expansion. If you have hard water or water with a low or high PH correct those problems. Drain the WH once a year without fail. EZ to forget to do, but if you don't forget it will pay off in the long run. |
