Perfect and plumber approved.

So did not realize you can use a bike pump to blow air in it. Work just fine. A plumber came and never heard of it and used it. Really helped clean up the crud after 13 years of not being drained. Fit well and super easy to put on. Read more

Easy to use and appears to be effective

Once attached, it provides a tight seal and in conjunction with a air compress creates alot of bubbles 🫧 to clean the water. Read more

Works well if you need it

SCODecember 1, 2025

If you have an old nasty water heater and you want to knock the sediment from the bottom loose and drain it, this is a great help. However, you may not need this. You can probably break loose sediment by turning on your cold water when the heater is mostly empty. But it does work - you can use a compressor or any air inflator to push air into your heater to dislodge sediment. I think this would be a necessity for a heater that has a heavy sediment accumulation. An added benefit for all maintenance scenarios is the clear window that allows you to see how dirty the water is as it comes out. It's well-made, not cheap junk - though plastic, it is high quality and should last a long time. Read more

A Must-Have Tool for Water Heater Maintenance

KyleApril 1, 2025

I recently purchased the Sediment Buster Water Heater Cleaning and Flushing Tool, and I have to say, it’s been a game-changer for maintaining my water heater. After using it, I can confidently say this tool is worth every penny. Here’s my experience: Performance The Sediment Buster works exactly as advertised. The air injection process is incredibly effective at breaking up and flushing out sediment from the bottom of the tank. I could actually see the sediment being removed through the clear window, which was super satisfying! After using it, I noticed an immediate improvement in my water pressure and how quickly my water heats up. Ease of Use I was a little nervous about using it at first, but it turned out to be really simple to set up. The instructions were clear, and there are even video tutorials available if you need extra help. I used a basic air pump with it, and everything worked perfectly. It’s also great that I didn’t need any extra tools or complicated equipment to get the job done. Build Quality The tool feels sturdy and well-made. The ABS plastic construction seems durable enough to last through multiple uses. That said, I did notice a tiny bit of leakage at the connection point during use. I think this was because of the washer provided—it wasn’t sealing as tightly as I’d like. Swapping it out for a better-quality washer solved the problem completely. Value for Money At $39.99, this tool is an excellent investment. Not only does it help keep my water heater running efficiently, but it also saves me money in the long run by improving energy efficiency and extending the life of my tank. Plus, it’s way cheaper than hiring someone to do a professional flush! What I Loved It actually works! My water heater feels like new again. The see-through window lets you watch all the gunk being flushed out (weirdly satisfying). It’s easy to set up and use—no mess or fuss. It works with both gas and electric water heaters. What Could Be Better The washer that came with it wasn’t great—I recommend replacing it with a higher-quality one. If your tank has a lot of sediment buildup, it might take some extra time to get everything cleaned out. Final Thoughts Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase. It’s efficient, easy to use, and does exactly what it promises. If you’re looking for a way to maintain your water heater without spending a fortune on professional services, this tool is definitely worth trying out. Read more

This tool had one job and it performed it perfectly!

Christin CollinsDecember 6, 2025

So, this little thing actually does what it says it is going to do! Life got away from me, and I was late getting my water heater flushed. When I did get to it, the flow was a slow trickle, so I knew there was sediment blocking the entrance. I knew i needed something to clear it, but I didn't want to stick something in and risk damaging the drain valve, and I really didn't want to have to call a plumber for this. So I went online, looking for a handheld thing I could use to inject water into the system to stir things up, and YouTube took me to what turned out to be a great explanation of how water heaters work and how flushing them works, and THEN the presenter said that when the water wouldn't flow, they had a great tool to correct the situation. It hadn't even occurred to me to use air for this, but the science and safety of using air is spot-on! I came here to look for it, and bought it right away! It came quickly, and absolutely did what it was supposed to do! The instructions are very clear and thorough, so make sure to read them, especially the part about making sure the water is 100 degrees F or below before letting it run through the Sediment Buster because it is plastic and will melt! It was extremely easy to install and use. I must have had some big chunks in there, because it took me a few more cycles than the instructions said it would, but it allowed me to stir up the sediment enough in the tank to be able to get the water flowing again. So, be patient and don't give up if water doesn't immediately flow! Remember, too, when you are using it that you are introducing air into the lines, so make sure to run hot water in all your faucets after you are done, because otherwise you might hear clanking in the pipes later that day, and water is supposed to be quiet! I'm excited to take this over to my step-daughters house to help her flush her water heater, too. The construction is simple and it feels well-made, so I feel like this will be in my tool box for a long time, ready whenever I need it! I almost never write reviews, but this simple connector is exactly the right tool for this job, and I'm so excited about it that I wanted to let other people know that it really works, because you never know when things seem like they could be too good to be true! This is exactly what I hoped it would be! Read more

This works like a champ! Saved me a lot of time. Tank wasn’t draining until I used this. It drained in no time afterwards. Read more
