Enjoy Learning
We have the routine down now so no frustration or anxiety involved.
Move the furniture
Remove the wall panel
Drain the well pressure tank
Flush the pressure tank ( always some dirt / mud in the borrom )
Drain the 40 gal. heater ( Under 10 minutes with the 3/4 ball valve )
Remove the elements and vacuum out the sediment.
Install the new elements ( low density at the top & high density at the bottom )
Refill the tank & turn her on.
No real issues this time and the one year old anode appeared OK ..... and the amount of sediment was about half of our usual ( No explanation for it ) The only concern I have this time is the pressure in the well tank dropped about 5 psi over the 6 months.
