Welcome to PartsHnC! Today, we’re tackling an essential home maintenance task—how to drain a water heater to remove sediment and keep your system running efficiently. Over time, mineral buildup can reduce heating performance, increase energy costs, and even damage the tank. With just a few tools—an adjustable wrench, garden hose, bucket, and gloves—you can flush your tank in under 15 minutes. Turn off the power or gas, shut off the cold water valve, connect your hose to the drain valve, and open a nearby hot water faucet for airflow. Drain 2–3 gallons for a quick flush or continue until the water runs clear. If sediment remains, refill partially and drain again. Don’t forget to restore power and check for leaks once finished. Flush your tank every 6 to 12 months, especially if you live in a hard water area, to extend the life of your water heater and keep it performing at its best. Need a deeper step-by-step?
