About Your Warranty
Some warranties say that you must drain the tank once a
month. Your tank will last longer if you do this. Your Sears
warranty is good whether you drain the tank often or not.
We include a drain valve because:
. Many plumbing codes require a drain valve.
. Your water heater will continue to heat efficiently, if a
small amount of water is drained each month. THE
PRICE OF YOUR WATER HEATER DOES NOT
INCLUDE A FREE CHECKUP SERVICE CALL. ON
