  • Works great, with a caveat
This is a great little tool, which does what it claims to do and seems to be pretty durably made. I have just used it, and my experience leaves me with a warning I should submit for others. If you're using this for regular maintenance, this tool definitely does the job. Be ready for some water to flow out while you're swapping the valve for this tool; as long as the valve at the top is closed not much should come out, but you'll definitely need an old towel and a shop vac or carpet cleaner vacuum isn't a bad idea for pulling up water. Go slow with the drill, and I found it helpful to start in reverse at first, and switch rotation directions from time to time, going forward most of the time to bring in debris a little faster. I had the hose going outside at ground level, with the end in a location where the sediment wouldn't be a problem. This is probably going to be a workout for your drill, if you've got a significant build-up of sediment. It was a good 45 minutes of running my older 18V Ryobi brushed drill in 1st gear -- didn't take more than a quarter of the battery to do the job, but the drill got quite warm. Most of the job was at a partial squeeze of the trigger. I ended up using a 90 degree chuck adapter (one that maintains the same output speed, 1:1 gear ratio) and that made the job more comfortable, but wasn't necessary. The warning is for those using this as I did, in a situation where the water heater had not been properly maintained. In this case sediment had built up significantly. I needed to drain the tank to replace the lower element which had failed, and the sediment was complicating that process (and may have contributed to the failure) so I purchased this tool to help. When I finally got the tank cleaned and drained, I pulled the heater element only to find that what I removed was just the base of it, with two severed stumps of the element sticking out. The corroded and weakened element had been completely ripped off the base by the tool while I was cleaning the tank, and that discovery started a frustrating hour-long adventure with a borescope and grabber tool, to fish for the mangled element and pull it out of the hole. Overall I'm pretty impressed with the idea and execution of this tool. It's clearly manufactured to a cost and it feels like something that will last a few jobs and will then need to be replaced. And even so I'd call that a great deal at this price. Apparently this tool was manufactured from ABS until recently, when they switched to polycarbonate, and I think that was a fantastic choice. Polycarbonate is an extremely tough material, and it appears they did not skimp on it for the dimensions and thicknesses of the tool. It did jam a few times during operation as it attempted (and mostly failed) to injest very large chunks of what looked like anode rod material (I need to replace that too), which I dealt with by reversing the tool briefly. That said when I removed the tool after the job was done, a couple of these chunks were still lodged in the inlet where the agitator spring emerges and had been grinding away at the tool for an unknown time. Perhaps the designed shape of the water passage through the tool will evolve over time to make these jams less likely. No idea if the manufacturing would be feasible, but I'd easily pay 3-4 times as much for an improved "pro" model made from stainless steel, with clear polycarbonate windows in appropriate locations. ... show more

  • Wonderful
What a great idea.....and it actually works! As others noted, this thing does a great job removing crud and buildup from your water heater. there is a little bit of leaking at the compression fittings but this seems like it should be expected and will a towel over the drips, its not an issue. Water heater performance was increased...wish I would have recorded before and after temps because it definitely is hotter! ... show more

  • Best tool I've found for this job.
Works great. It removed probably 80% of the sediment in my water heater.

  • Works great!
My gas water heater was cracking and popping really loud when it was reheating water after each use. I tried to flush out the system, but that did nothing to solve the issue. I thought I would have to replace my water heater. I did some research and came across this tool, and thought I would give it a try. I followed the instructions and the tool worked like a charm. it removed probably 98% of the buildup from inside my heater. There were only a few remaining large chunks of build up that were too big to fit through the hole at the bottom of the tank, but I was able to remove those after breaking them into smaller pieces. After I was finished, there was no more popping/crackling sounds from my water heater. This tool worked great, was easy to use, and I would recommend it. ... show more

Awesome! Works very well. Was able to clear out most of our sediment and the water is running clean.

  • Probably useful in some situations but not mine
If you have a badly impacted tank this product may work well for you, but it didn't on my gas heater. The premise seemed sound and the tool seemed sturdy and of decent quality. My tank is 17 years old, has not been flushed before but I'm trying to get a couple more years out of it. My water quality is very good and not hard at all. I think most of the deposits in my tank were from the deteriorated anode rod which settled along the bottom edge of the tank where the convex bottom and sidewalls meet. The whip on the tool was unable to access these spots. It's possible that I did not run the tool hard or long enough to agitate the water enough to work it loose. With all of the racket the whip was making banging around inside the tank (and yes the tank was full of water per the instructions), I was hesitant to run it much more. I didn't want to risk damaging the inside surface of the tank. This tool may work best for electric tanks, but since gas heaters have a flue stack running up through the center of the tank the whip can only work the left or right side of it (depending on which way you direct the whip in) and not really reach behind it opposite the drain port. This also limits the movement of the whip to churn up that water at the bottom. I had better results attaching a 3/8-inch poly tube to my wet vac and going through the drain port while my son directed my movements from above through the anode rod port. Overall 3 stars per my experience. I think the premise is sound but maybe a steel wand beating against the enamel tank coating isn't such a good idea. The risks and limitations of this product should be noted by the manufacturer. ... show more

  • Worked great on my water tank.
I watched the video that came on the instructions and had no issues. Make sure you follow the directions step by step, and don't skip around. I had half a bucket of lime that was in the bottom of my tank. Easy use and a great cost made this a must have for anyone with hard water issues. It added some life to my tank and heating element with the amazing cleaning power. I used my battery power drill and no issues getting the job done. ... show more
