How do you unclog a bathroom tub and dishwasher of sediment unleashed
during a water heater repair?
Unclogging the showerheads & kitchen sink were easy but the bathroom tub
and dishwasher are still apparently clogged with sediment.
Do you know how to unclog the hot/cold water to the bathroom tub and
dishwasher?
Donna
PS I should have taken photos of the before/after shower head but I'll
start posting photos of the tub and dishwasher unclog so others benefit
from your advice which is never wasted!

Tub is no different than the sink. Depends on what brand of faucet though.
You may have to remove a front bezel. Go to the web page of the
manufacturer and look for instructions to replace the seals or cartridge.
Dishwasher may be more difficult. If you get lucky, you may be able to just
disconnect the water feed and clean out right inside the solenoid valve. If
not, you may have to remove the DW and remove the valve to clean it. Going
from memory, the feed on mine is right behind the bottom front panel. Check
the spray arms also while you are at it.

It sure looks different. There's no screen. Will look more.

Will take it apart and post pictures.

If you mean there is no screen in the aerator, the problem is in the
cartridge. Remove the cartridge and clean it out.

Hi Edwin,
The tub seems different in that there is nothing to take apart on the
nozzle part that spits out the water. I don't feel a screen in that nozzle
like I did the faucets.
Here is the clogged tub outlet with the water on "full blast" which is
barely more than a trickle after the water heater replacement:

Here is the tub with the water on the full close position; I don't see what
to remove to find a "filter screen"?

I'm sorry for being confused but can you point to what in this picture,
showing the water at the most I can get out now (which is vastly less than
the day before the water heater was replaced) I should open up to clean out
the sediment?

Am I looking in the wrong place?
Donna
PS I'm confused if I should post to this thread or to the long thread so
I'll try to keep an eye on both!
