🚰 Valterra A10-4010VP Water Heater Flushing Kit Review

Good invention. Rinse, soak in 50% white vinegar, heat for more than four hours, drain and rinse again. It's amazing how much dirt comes out. Use plenty of water and let it run down the drain.

The resulting product is connected to a hose and water is sprayed everywhere. The gray hose had snapped at the fitting and after checking the seal, it was still spraying out of the hose connector in multiple directions. This is inappropriate.

This product is constructed entirely of plastic. Based on my job as a mechanic it will get the job done but I would expect it to need replacing after every few uses. The gray pipe that goes into the water heater on my particular unit has more than one bend. Poor quality control or delivery. I had to use a small flashlight to make sure it was straight all the way to the top as it had 2 curves in addition to the end. Photos before and after.
