How often should a water heater be flushed in Las Vegas?

Due to the extreme water hardness (280+ ppm), traditional tank water heaters in Las Vegas should be flushed at least once every 12 months, and tankless units must undergo a recirculating descaling flush annually to preserve heat exchanger efficiency and manufacturer warranty coverage.

Is an expansion tank required by code when replacing a water heater in Clark County?

Yes. Under current Clark County and City of Las Vegas plumbing codes, when a backflow preventer or pressure-reducing valve creates a closed plumbing system, a thermal expansion tank must be installed above the water heater to absorb thermal expansion pressure.
