My wife insists I apologize for our child’s messy playroom, but look folks, we’re not perfect and that’s how it looks sometimes. I make no apologies but can admit I probably should have picked up a little bit lol
If I want to do this in my apartment cause maintenance refuses to do it. Would I be able to flush the hot water and sediment thru the drain out connected behind the water heater?
Why it takes forever to drain out the water heater? The water flows out very slow. Did I forgot something? I’m trying to winterized my home for the winter
What's up bro ! Question Aren't we supposed to open the pressure valve while flushing ? Then try to pump some vinegar in through the valve at the bottom after the tank is empty , shut the pressure valve then fill up the tank halfway with the water and let it sit for like two hours ? Then turn the cold water back on and let it fill and while it's almost full then turned the flush valve back on and let it keep doing it stink for like 15 minutes what's the water still filling the tank ? I'm at a hotel so it's much different than a home , worried about air pockets ! I've flushed tankless hot water heater so this is much different just asking need to know thanks bro ..
Maybe. I’m not sure about the vinegar, but opening the faucet acts as the pressure relief valve. And yes you could fill it a bit and flush again a few times to clear everything
After the tank is flushed and not much sentiment is coming out, I’d let it empty, shut the drain valve, and remove the cold water hose and funnel the vinegar in through the cold water intake. I’m no plumber, but I would leave the vinegar in there for a day if possible. Then drain, attach the cold water hose, and blast some more water in and drain until the sentiment clears up again.

That is great advice. Thank you 😊😊

Dude, it's a kids room! The expectation is that it will be messy most of the time. It's fine 😊
We got you brother...we've all been there!
Truth!!! Keep the faith brother!
Nice video. Not too long but detailed enough to get it done
Nobody but you has mentioned that the water hose could clog with sediment and other videos should too . VERY GOOD JOB.
Thank you. It wasn’t flushing so I thought it had somehow done something wrong, but it was a big clog!
I used an old hose and I cut to the length of 2 meters, enough to reach the grass area to reduce the paint of dealing with Kinks

Is this necessary?

I mean it only takes like 10 minutes

@@TheDIYrealtor 👍
Do you have let the hot water in the water heater cool down before draining or no?
Nah, I don’t remember it being alarmingly hot or anything while draining!
@@TheDIYrealtor ok cool I was just concerned I would affect the tank if I didn’t let it cool down
When can I turn the faucet off?
Once the flow of water is steady and back to a normal stream. You’ll know it because the spurting and air from the faucet will completely stop.
Do you turn on the breaker once the faucet returns to normal?
The anode rod probably also needs replacing.
Doesn't show how to back purge if necessary as in this video. ruclips.net/video/hkbi24QJhDw/видео.html
If you store the hose properly will not kink
