I nag at my husband to flush our electric water heater every 3 months because we have excess lime.Even constant nagging results in him doing it about every 9 months. We had to replace it about 10 years ago. Before that we had to replace elements a lot.

I just flushed out a water heater and got alot of mineral deposits. I know I'm supposed to do it every 6 months, but it has slipped by me.
But that brings up a question: it's electric - so other than having a tad more space for water, what is the purpose? With gas heaters, being heated from below, mineral deposits definitely shorten the life of a heater. But does it really make a difference on electric?
