It starts outside, with a tech in a black cap and glasses kneeling at a GE electric water heater pulled out beside a SwiftPro van. Then the scene moves to a basement, where a bearded tech in glasses kneels at a gas water heater and points to the drain valve near the bottom of the tank.
The homeowner stands by, following along. On-screen notes explain the problem a water heater flush fixes: minerals drop out of heated water and settle on the tank floor, where they cut efficiency, cause rumbling and wear the tank out early.
To get the sediment out before it costs you. Minerals in the water settle on the bottom of the tank, where they insulate the water from the burner, waste energy, make the tank rumble and speed up corrosion. A yearly water heater flush drains that out through the valve at the base. It's one of the cheapest ways to make a tank last.
