How Well Water Can Affect Your Water Heater: A Real-Life Example

Living in Oklahoma comes with its quirks—like dealing with red clay sediment in your well water! During a recent water heater flush, our plumber Joseph discovered bright red water spilling out of a customer’s water heater. This distinct red clay sediment is a sign of excessive buildup caused by untreated well water.

Sediment buildup in your water heater can not only reduce its efficiency but also lead to premature wear and tear. If you’re on well water, this is a common issue that can often go unnoticed until it causes problems. To combat this, we recommend installing a whole-home water filtration system to filter out sediment, protect your plumbing, and ensure clean, high-quality water throughout your home.
