Would An Inline Water Softener System Prevent Hard Water Sediment Buildup In My Hot Water Heater?
I live in an area with very hard water, and have had to replace two water heaters in 6 years due to sediment buildup. If I were to put in a whole-house water softening system, would that solve / reduce the hot water heater sediment problem? (That would not be the only reason for installing the water softener.) Thanks.

A water softener extends the life a just about all fixtures; water heater, faucets, shower heads, sprayers. And they keep nasty stains from forming on shower walls, tubs and sinks. Drain the tank and flush it every few weeks. This will also extend the life of your tank

No, but a sediment filter would help. Sediment in the water shortenes the lifetime of a hot water heater.
