    If you have a demand water heater you should flush with vinegar at least once per year.

    My cloths washer has a cleaning cycle that should be run once per month.

    I run the dishwasher with a small bowl of vinegar once a month.

    I clean the coils on the refrigerator once a year.

    I put an enzyme cleaner down the kitchen drain once a month.

    The problem is, newer ones are not as robustly built as your twenty year old one, so its becoming "I just replace mine every 3-5 years or so as needed".
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    I pull out the fire extinguisher every week from the camper like the instruction book tells me and I test the valve.

    In truth, I don't have enough time to perform recommended manufacture maintenance on myself, let alone everything else.

    I expect them to do what I do, ignore the pain and keep working, those SOB's.

    I wish. When we moved into our new house I became aware of the water heater maintenance. With all new appliances I looked into other recommendations.

    Other than the water heater each only takes a few minutes.

    It does take 4 gallons to flush the water heater.
