Does Brookhaven's water cause plumbing problems?

the core metro's water is moderately hard, and homes on wells can carry iron and sulfur that stain fixtures and wear on water heaters. Flushing the heater — and treating well water — both help.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

Repair small issues on a newer unit; replace if it's leaking from the tank or over about 10 years old, since failures and flooding become likely.

Why is my hot water rusty or smells like sulfur?

On Georgia well water, iron and sulfur react in the tank — the anode rod and a flush usually fix it, and treatment stops it from coming back.

Is a tankless water heater worth it in Georgia?

Often yes — tankless units save space and run efficiently, but hard and well water scales them, so periodic descaling (and treatment) helps them last.
