Place the other end of the hose in a drain or outside. Open the pressure relief valve and then open the drain valve to let the water flow out. Let the water heater flush for about 5-10 minutes or until the water runs clear. Close the drain valve and pressure relief valve, then refill the tank. Turn the power or gas supply back on. Regularly flushing your water heater helps remove sediment buildup, maintaining efficiency and extending its lifespan.
Remove the hoses going to the heater core. Use a regular water hose with a high pressure nozzle and flush both ways.
