We've got a gas water heater, just under 3 years old.
Should I drain it as a routine maintenance procedure or not?? It hasn't been drained so far.
thanks
My 40 gal gas water heater has about 5 gallons of brown 'muck' in the bottom after 5 years of no draining.
I suppose I'll start draining it every couple of months. That delicate plastic drain valve is still working fine so far, but I take extra care when touching it.
