so u shut of the water too or u leave the water on as the tank drains?
-
I am draining because the brief hot water I used to get is now luke warm....My pilot goes out constantly....I changed thermocouple, but no luck. Maybe the burner is encrusted with crap.....Sounds like the flame struggles when it's on.......Any suggestions????

THIS IS REALLY NICE TO SHOW BASIC OF WATER HEATER

You don't talk about opening up the relief valve. Is this not needed with this method?

Very good video. Learned a lot. Thank you very much.

All these videos are good but I wish one would actually show it happening so we could see (and hear) what the sediment looks like. Just a thought.

Thanks so much for this video. I have a home with 2 showers and the one closest to the boiler, the hot water would stop coming out. after about two minutes. I replaced the center cartridge 2 years ago but I have never flushed the boiler, it worked fine but now I think I need to replace the center cartridge again. Will a dirty boiler cause this to happen? Thanks

Not sure what you mean by center cartridge? Temperature control or dip tube?

Thanks for this very helpful video. I just purchased a home that has been vacant for 6 months and the water is nasty. The most informative part of this video is where you issue the warning about not opening the drain valve too quickly to avoid stirring the tank. Thank you SO much for posting this.

So I don't have to shut off the cold water when flushing, right?

Don not shut off the cold water supply.You will be using the pressure and flow of the cold water to do the work for you. If you do shut it off,there will be nothing to force the dirt out.
