Mason:
A plumber was recently at my home to repair our malfunctioning water heater. He replaced something (a rod?) and everything seems to be fine. He did tell me that we should FLUSH our water heater more often. WHAT? I have never heard of such a thing. Is this for real??

Yes; this is one of those home maintenance routines often unknown or overlooked by most homeowners. Although not quite as simple as flushing a toilet, you can, and should, flush your water heater regularly. (What does that mean?) Depends on the quality of your water supply and age / condition
