Picked up a used electric water heater off of a job to temporarily replace my dying gas water heater. Will replace elements and swap anode. Has quite a bit of sediment at the bottom after draining. The tank still looks good. No rust. I believe it is a glass lined tank. wondering how i can fully get rid of the sediment. I am afraid the drain spout is not large enough to allow some of it to pass through when i flush it. I there something i can dump in prior to flushing do dissolve so of it to make it easier to flush? or is a shopvac and hose my best bet? I am new at this water heater thing so any thing will help. Thanks in advance.
