The self cleaning units, if I remember correctly, have a cold

tank and is curved in such a way that it swirls the water
around which keeps the sediment stirred up so it goes out with
the hot water.

Heh, just what I wanted to know! High tech at it's best!

I presume it works somewhat, at least sounds like it can do no harm.

Thanks.

There is some debate about whether or not the feature is
effective at reducing sediment.
