Flush out the hot water tank once a year.  Here are the steps to take in order to flush the hot water tank.

  1. Shut off the hot water tank and wait until the hot water cools.
  2. Turn off the water supply and reduce the water pressure by opening up the hot water faucets.
  3. Access and open the drain plug.  (Water should pour out.  Note you might want to use an object to break up any sediment which may be blocking the plug's opening.)
  4. Use a water hose to spray water into the drain hole to loosen up any other sediment.  Continue to flush until the water coming out is clean.
  5. Remove the water and let tank drain.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the water coming out is clean.  Continue to flush until the water coming out is clean.
  7. Reinstall the drain plug.
  8. Turn the water supply back on to the hot water tank.
  9. Turn on the hot water faucets.
  10. Wait for water to run out of the hot water faucets.
