  • Drain a few gallons of water from your water heater each year to remove sediment and improve efficiency!
  • Learning how to clean hot water heater sediment is easy: First turn off the power so you don't risk electrical shock or burn out your element. Then turn off the cold water valve to the tank. Attach a garden hose to the tank drain valve and then drain a few gallons of the hot water in the tank through the hose. Then close the drain valve and open the cold water valve and you're ready to use the tank again.
