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.

Great product. Used to use a hose and shop vac prior to this. Removed 2.5 gallons of sediment. Purchased the valve also. It’s a lot easier with the valve.

My water heater drain valve was a booger to get off. Once I did the rest was pretty easy. It did make a bit of a mess but a few towels and a shop vac made for easy cleanup. The tool worked pretty good. Turning it forward it didn't have any problems but when reversing the drill the auger would come loose and not spin inside the tank. It is only held onto the shaft by the tension of the spring and once it was a little used it didn't have enough tension to reverse the drill. I'm going to try to solder it to the shaft next time to try and get it to hold in place better, since the reverse setting seemed to knock more crud loose. I tried to capture my sediment in a bucket for the review but my hose just blew out and all the debris went down the street. It did knock off quite a bit and my tank wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. A few large chunks and lots of little stuff.

I recently used the Ultimate Solution Turbo Tank Cleaner Water Heater Descaler, and it has completely transformed my water heater's performance. The plastic on the product is impressively solid and of great quality, which gives me confidence in its durability. One of the standout features is the built-in grinding wheel, which effectively breaks down larger scales. Installation was a breeze, and I was amazed at how much hard water scale it removed from my tank. A helpful tip: don't forget to add a bit of Vaseline to the seals and O-rings to ensure a tight fit and prevent leaks. Also, it helps to lubricate the main shaft seal to avoid overheating of the main seal. After using this descaler, I noticed a significant improvement in my water pressure. Additionally, the popping sounds I used to hear from scales heating up at the bottom of the tank have significantly reduced. This product truly lives up to its promise of being the ultimate solution for tank cleaning and descaling. Overall, I highly recommend the Turbo Tank Cleaner to anyone dealing with hard water scale issues. It delivers outstanding results and is worth every penny!

Hi thanks for reading. This product worked AWESOME. Once installed (replacing the drain valve), it totally cleaned out my tank. I highly recommend it!
