Running a high-efficiency tankless system across local infrastructure without a dedicated scale-inhibitor filter or an annual system flushing schedule will cause mineral scaling, reducing output and potentially voiding manufacturer warranties.

Installing in Covina: What to Know
The Water
City of Covina / Suburban Water Systems / Golden State Water (Charter Oak)
Covina water comes from three different outfits depending on your block: the city's own Water Division, which buys San Gabriel River surface water through the Covina Irrigating Company; Suburban Water Systems; and Golden State Water in the Charter Oak area. All three deliver hard water. Check your bill so your installer can match the scale protection to your actual supply.
The Houses
Most of Covina went up in the building boom of the 1950s and 60s, so installers see a lot of original galvanized supply lines and water heaters tucked into garage corners with minimal venting. The good news: those single-story tracts are usually straightforward conversions with short vent runs.
