With traditional hot water tanks, replacing the anode rod every few years helps capture iron to prevent early corrosion. You can also flush out the tank at least every 2 years to prevent mineral buildup on the elements. For tankless, annual maintenance such as descaling is essential. It also must be performed by a professional who knows how to service tankless systems correctly.
