Kenmore Roto Swirl Cleaning

[LincDIYer]

Hi. I have a 2005 Kenmore Roto-Swirl 40-gal. electric water heater. Where does the sediment go? Into the faucets. In that case, I guess the sediment would collect in the screens, if any, at the spout? Also, do I still need to drain out the sediment periodically?

Thanks.

What's the overall water quality in DC and what kind of pipes do you have in your house?

The sediment is much too fine to be caught in the screens. It either goes down the drain or into your stomach.
