Flushing or draining your water heater is an important maintenance task that can help prolong the life of your appliance and prevent sediment buildup. Here's how to do it:
Turn off the power or gas supply: Turn off the power supply if you have an electric water heater, or turn off the gas supply if you have a gas water heater.
Shut off the water supply: Turn off the cold water supply to your water heater.
Allow the water to cool: Wait for the water in the tank to cool down before attempting to drain it.
Attach a hose: Connect a garden hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the tank. Make sure the other end of the hose is directed to a suitable drain or container.
Drain the tank: Open the drain valve and allow the water to flow out of the tank. You may need to open a hot water faucet to allow air into the tank and facilitate the draining process. Be careful as the water will be hot.
Flush the heat exchanger: Once the tank is empty, turn on the cold water supply and allow it to flush out any remaining sediment or debris. Repeat this process until the water runs clear.
Refill the heat exchanger: Close the drain valve and remove the hose. Turn on the cold water supply and allow the tank to fill up completely before turning on the power or gas supply.
It is recommended to flush your water heater at least once a year to prevent sediment buildup and ensure efficient operation. If you are unsure about how to flush your water heater, it is best to seek the assistance of a professional plumber or heating technician.
