Flush, Drain, & Clean Your Water Heater

If you're asking yourself...

The answer is sediment build-up in your water heater!

What is sediment build-up?

Sediment build-up is the accumulation of hard minerals and particles that build up in your hot water heater tank over time. It is the cause of most water heater deficiencies and breakdowns, and like changing oil in your car, a water heater should be routinely cleaned and drained of sediment.

Can sediment be removed?

With the Sediment Buster – YES IT CAN – and anyone can do it!

Like stirring a glass of sugar water before pouring it all out, the Sediment Buster will stir your water heater tank and allow you to remove the water and sediment together. Just hand-tighten our tool to the drain valve and blow through clogs with ease. No spills, no mess, just results.

What are the benefits of Sediment Buster?

Regularly flushing sediment out of your water heater can help extend its lifespan by improving its efficiency and reducing the risk of damage caused by sediment buildup. With regular use of the Sediment Buster, a well-maintained water heater can last much longer than the 8-10 year warranties of most water heaters.

 

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, sediment buildup can reduce a water heater’s efficiency by 25% or more. Sediment buildup on the heating elements of your water heater can insulate the water from the heat source, reducing the efficiency of the heater and making it take longer to heat up the water. The sediment can also clog the drain valve and other parts of the heater, restricting the flow and causing the heater to work harder to heat the water.

By utilizing the Sediment Buster, you can avoid the detrimental effects of sediment buildup that can cause your water heater to heat up slowly. This product can help remove the sediment, ensuring that the heating elements are not covered and that the drains and pipes remain clear, preventing any restrictions to the water flow that could cause the water heater to work harder.

 

 

Removing sediment with the Sediment Buster from your water heater can significantly reduce the risk of corrosion or damage to the interior of your tank. This is because sediment, along with harmful minerals, can eat into the tank’s lining and cause structural damage over time. By regularly removing sediment buildup, you can help extend the lifespan of your water heater and prevent costly repairs or replacements down the line.

Sediment can contain harmful minerals and bacteria that can cause unpleasant odors or tastes in your water. By removing this buildup, you can reduce the presence of these contaminants and improve the overall quality of your water. Sediment buildup can also cause water discoloration, which can be unappealing and affect the taste and smell of your water. By removing the sediment, you can ensure that the water coming from your heater is clear and free of any discoloration.

Sediment buildup can clog the water lines that supply your appliances, reducing water pressure and potentially causing damage to the appliances themselves. By removing this buildup, you can help ensure that your appliances receive a consistent and sufficient supply of water, which can help prevent any issues caused by low water pressure.

The Sediment Buster boasts a utility patented air injection process and a 45-degree angle that enables easy attachment to most water heaters, even those in tight spaces. By utilizing the power of air pressure to stir the tank, our product avoids the use of bulky tools that may cause further damage to the interior of your tank or the frustration of no tool at all. It also is far more effective than just draining the tank.

The lifespan of a water heater can vary, but with proper maintenance and care, such as utilizing the Sediment Buster, you can help extend the lifespan of your water heater and potentially avoid costly repairs or replacements.
