> hot water tanks should be purged yearly (to get rid of the debris collecting on the bottom)

Note that this is only the case if you have been doing this already from when it was new. It isn't necessarily a great idea to try to purge on an older water tank since the valve can start to leak if you open it and it hasn't been used in a long time.
