This water heater has never been flushed. I'm surprised at how much debris is on the bottom of the tank. I believe the debris is from minerals flaking off the electric and propane heating elements. The amount of deposits still on the propane heating tube worries me. I wonder how much the build-up affects heat transfer?
Electric heating element
Temperature sensor?
Debris on bottom of tank
Looking straight up in tank, the top looks to be uncorroded.
This is the most troubling image - the build-up on the propane heat exchanger tube. I'm going to try to spray it off with a Camco flush wand.
