Maintenance tips for your President gas water heater

• Flush tank sediment every 6 months. It is recommended that you drain the tank and flush sediment out of the tank every six months. Sediment can build up and interfere with water heating if you don't regularly drain and flush the tank.
• Visually inspect the vent system annually. Look for obstructions or damage to the vent system. Make sure that ventilation air paths aren't obstructed.
• Check piping systems for leaks yearly. Repair or replace any leaking pipes or water fittings.
• Annually inspect gas lines and the burner for damage or corrosion. Have a service technician repair any damaged gas lines or replace the gas burner if it's damaged.

Top replacement parts for President gas water heaters

• Gas valve assembly. The gas valve assembly monitors tank water temperature and cycles the burner on and off to maintain set water temperature.
• Thermocouple. The thermocouple detects whether your pilot light is on by generating a very small electrical current powered by the heat of the pilot flame. If the gas valve assembly doesn't sense the small electrical current provided by the thermocouple, or the thermocouple cools, it assumes that the pilot light is off and shuts down the gas.
• Pilot igniter. The pilot igniter lights the pilot burner when the button is pushed.
• Temperature-pressure relief valve. The temperature-pressure (T&P) relief valve is a safety device that automatically opens to discharge hot water in the event of excessive temperature and/or pressure inside the tank. Replace the T&P valve if it leaks or malfunctions.
