How To Use Sediment Buster | Plumbing Clip

This is the Sediment Buster! Such a rad tool for water heater service. No more trying to pop sediment with silver solder or a screw driver when it’s clogged. Simply hit it with air and get it flowin. 🤙🏼 I have an Amazon link or you can visit the main website. @SedimentBuster Give them a follow too!

That’s bad ass. I’ve been a plumber for 35 years. I’ve been waiting for something like this to come along. I’m getting one on Amazon right now.

Used it a few times now myself. Works great. Thanks for the video.

It's worth every penny. I love mine. Complete game changer

Ive got a water heater replacement coming up again and im so stoked to get this device. The last 3 or 4 ive done have taken so long to drain and then not even completely.

I've seen this before. I made my own using "Plumbing Parts" and now have one for life. I didn't save any money (~$40), but it's a lot more robust.

Should probably note that is just to clear the sediment out of the way so the tank can drain properly, not actively removing sediment

[bowesman]

you don't explain that you need to open a hot water faucet in a sink somewhere or open pressure relief valve, otherwise you could blow something out ????

[Craig-ibgk]

I've got one . I hit it with the tiny compressor I use for my finishing nail gun using a valve stem adapter. It's absolutely boss. Get one.

I just shut off the water, hook a compressor up to the hot water supply for the washing machine, set the regulator to around 50 psi, hook a hose up to the water heater, and let her rip. Takes about 2 min.

In all fairness, I'm usually winterizing vacant homes when I do this, in case of power outages in the winter; but it works great when I'm replacing elements or just flushing it out too.

Quick shot of air from a baby compressor for tires and it drains just as good.

[MasterMajestyk]

I hook up a Dewalt car jumper with tire air pump from HD for $99 now. 😊

Nice, I just installed a new 50gal water heater 2 years ago and I'm gunna get me one of these!

[RJKYEG]

I drained out my 4 year old water tank a while ago, it took a long time and I didn't think I was likely to get all the sediment out. For the price I figured I would give this a try.

[TommyJones]

You have a hose connected to the waterheater connect other end to spigot hit it with a shot of water.
You'll need to adapt other end with a female connector or use a rubber sleeve.

[DaffyDtgvafkDuk]

Cool, although I invested in a water pump. It pulls everything out of the tank when draining 🤩😍😌😁😁 drains a 40 gal tank in 10-15 mins tops (cost $300 though)

[pdub]

Was this a new water heater because I didn’t see any sediment?

[bilaalmuhammad]

I'm going to get mine this weekend

[robertrhoadesiii]

Cool tool

My Milwaukee transfer pump has it done in 4 mins.

[JuanitaCathey]

This is why I charge so much. I have to keep pumping this thing. But I need you to see it.

[docAwfulMD]

i love that! no more carrying half full tanks out into the yard and yanking the old boiler drain out
