THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURCHASE
OF THE TANK SAVER KIT
.
TM
This kit will greatly increase your water heater's life, save
energy, and reduce waste (we toss out about 7 million
heaters yearly in the U.S.). Water heater manufacturers often
explain in their maintenance manuals that periodic
replacement of the anode rod and draining sediment from the
water heater are the two most important factors in extending
tank life. The Tank Saver Kit" was designed to address these
two concerns.
It can be installed by the plumber or the handy homeowner in
either new or existing water heaters. Before you begin work,
read the instructions all the way through to insure that you
have all tools and parts needed. Should anything described
be beyond your skills, get qualified help to make sure the job
goes smoothly and safety.
You should also stop to inspect your heater at this time to be
certain it is not already beyond repair. Check all heater fittings
for signs of leakage. Check in a gas heater's combustion
chamber for heavy rusting or water marking. If you find much
damage, save this kit for installation in your replacement
heater.
