    Popping hot water heater
    I installed my gas hot water heater 2 years ago already I have enough sediment in my tank that it pops when it is heating. I've drained the tank multiple times, but can't get more than a 1/2 cup of sediment to come out. What kind of solution do you recommend to put in the tank to break up the sediment so it can drain.

    Thanks!
