Should there be water in the bottom of my water heater?
Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve If you notice a puddle of water at the bottom of your hot water tank, check the bottom of the discharge tube for moisture.

Why does my water heater keep getting sediment in it?
Well, first off it’s a common problem in Arizona because we have hard water (water with a high amount of minerals). Over time, those minerals settle onto the bottom of your water heater tank, which creates a thick layer of sediment (or “sediment buildup”). Now, as that layer of sediment builds, a small amount of water gets trapped underneath.
