Why Flushing Your Water Heater Matters

Over time, minerals like calcium and sediment from San Marcos’ hard water settle at the bottom of your water heater tank or inside your tankless unit. This buildup can:

  • Reduce energy efficiency
  • Limit your hot water supply
  • Increase your utility bills
  • Cause noisy operation
  • Shorten the lifespan of the system

When you flush a hot water heater, you’re clearing out this sediment so the unit can work as it should. Regular flushing is one of the simplest ways to keep your system healthy.

How Often Should You Flush A Water Heater?

For most homes in the San Marcos area, we recommend a water heater flush at least once per year. Homes with especially hard water or high hot water demand may benefit from more frequent maintenance.

Our team can help you determine the right schedule based on:

  • The type of water heater (tank or tankless)
  • The age of the unit
  • Your household size and water usage
  • Local water hardness levels

We’ll also perform a quick inspection during the appointment to catch any signs of wear or potential issues early.

Tank vs. Tankless Water Heater Maintenance

Both types of water heaters require upkeep — but the process and benefits differ slightly:

Traditional Tank Water Heaters

To flush a water heater with a tank, we drain the tank to remove sediment, check the anode rod and ensure the pressure relief valve and connections are in good shape.

Tankless Water Heaters

For a tankless water heater flush, we use a descaling solution to clean out mineral deposits inside the heat exchanger. This keeps the unit operating efficiently and helps prevent overheating or flow restrictions.

Whether you have a Bradford White, Rheem, Navien or A.O. Smith unit, Oasis has the experience to service it properly.

What’s Included In Our Water Heater Maintenance

A typical water heater maintenance visit includes:

  • Complete system flush (tank or tankless)
  • Inspection of critical components and connections
  • Safety and performance check
  • Temperature and pressure setting review
  • Honest recommendations for any necessary repairs

If we notice early signs of corrosion, wear or performance issues, we’ll walk you through your options — no pressure, no upsell.
