@dadadvicefrombo: Don’t worry, most people don’t do this once a year. Hot water usually circulates out of the top so whatever is settled on bottom usually isn’t what you are showering in, but it’s good to drain it so it doesn’t cause build up in the tank. Love, Dad
question. most hot waters in my state are in the basement. how can I drain it downhill?

I have the same question as many others! My unit is 6 years old and has never been drained to my knowledge. Am I setting myself up for disaster if I do this?

If you haven’t done this in years then it is not recommended to flush the tank.

Our water tank is in the basement of our house and it’s an underground basement not like some where it’s a basement but only partially in a hill like mine is fully underground so how would we drain our water tank

I bought a house with a water heater that’s probably never been drained. Should I try and drain it?

we just did this! Thank you!! my husband built a web app called grumpty.com to help us keep track of all of these little chores since we just bought a 106 year old house and there’s so much to do. It’s free if anyone wants to check it out!

do you have to run the hose through your whole house to the outside if you have a floor drain in your basement you could empty the hose into?

If it’s in a basement, can we flush in a shower or the floor drain?

It’s not a HOT water heater. It’s a water heater or a hot water tank.
