How do I flush my water heater?

Flushing your water heater involves draining the tank to remove sediment buildup. First, turn off the power or gas to the heater, then connect a hose to the drain valve, open the valve and let the water flow out. If the water doesn’t drain, you may have too much sediment build up. Consider using a pump or contacting a professional. It’s helpful to do this annually to keep your heater running efficiently.
