I have no idea how high it builds up but I think it would build regardless of what the regulator is set at because water is pushing and not moving through the regulator.
We have never drained the tank since we've moved in and we are inclined it never has been based on the previous owners.
Is that the best way to remove sediment at the bottom of the tank? I heard of an anode that needed to be either cleaned or replace in a hot water heater. Maybe it was oil?
I read somewhere that by the time hot water leaves your tank and reaches your tap it has already dropped 10 degrees. Any truth to that?
Only reason I mention it is that on my tank I don't have a temp setting, only low, med and high. The only way for me to get a temp reading is at the tap.
