If the mineral content of the water is high enough to cause severe crudding of the tank, you are going to get mineral slats throughout the water lines and faucet screens regardless. The heat in the hot lines makes it more susceptible, of course.
Flushing the tank and lines can only help, though. I do ours annually, though we do not seem to pick up a lot of crap in the tank. We have an inlet filter on the water system, but still have to clean the screens at the faucets once a year too.
