I would stay with std dealer prescribed service intervals, certain things are done on different service schedules. 

Flush well using muffs first, then add some saltaway or salty captain in the last part of the flush. Do not flush the saltaway or salty captain completely out of the engine....shut it down before the solution being added gets rather weak. This is ensure the residual salt pockets thay may be present will get some neutralizing after the shut down.

Some town water supplies are fairly high flow and pressure and could be enough to not let your engine reach running temp and opening the thermostat fully. My water supply is like this. I start the flush at full pressure for about a couple of minutes then i reduce the flow so i can feel the water from the tell tale fluctuate in temperature with the opening and closing of the thermostat. I shut the water off completely a second before shutting down the engine ensuring some saltaway remains in the motor.

I get mine serviced every 100 hours, which is about twice a year. I'd recommend you get y9ours serviced every 100 hours or every 12 months, whichever comes first.
