<div>How often does everyone flush their hot water tanks? The first time I drained mine, my heart about stopped! The water coming from the hose was filled with sediment, and disgusting looking "things". Draining your hot water tank will extend the life of the tank, as well as the heating elements. Also, NEVER use hot water to cook with, or drink. Why? Take a peek at the water coming from the hose when you drain the tank. THAT stuff is in the tank!!!

<div>If you do drain your tank, make sure to follow the directions for your brand.</div>
