Hello,
Good info on the previous post about cleaning electric w-heater.
I think i need to do the same.
My question is: can I stick something in the drain valve hole to loosen up an stir the junk that is clogging the drain while the tank is draining so the junk continues to come out? Are there parts down there that could be damaged?Should the water drain fast,my water drains very slowly,even witha faucet open and the releif valve open.
My MH is my cottage and is a couple hundred miles away in I have a well water that has some iron in it.I don't get up there that often as to spend enough time to do more.
The w-heater is about 8 years old but was not used at all for about 4 of those years.
I look forward to your responces and am sure I will have plenty more questions about this and other issues for all of you fine helpful Mobile Home Folks.
Thanks
