ABSTRACT:
A water heater including a watertight tank having a source of heat for heating water inside the tank and a hot water outlet mounted in the top portion of the tank. An agitator assembly is mounted in the bottom portion of the tank and includes a ring-shaped tubular member and a secondary tubular member connected to the ring-shaped tube. The ring-shaped member is provided with a plurality of openings in the sides thereof and said secondary tubular member is provided with an upwardly facing opening therein. A plurality of horizontally extending venturi fittings are mounted in the ring-shaped member side openings and an upwardly extending venturi fitting is mounted in the secondary tubular member opening. The agitator assembly is connected to a source of water so that when hot water is periodically withdrawn from the top of the tank water will flow into the tank through the openings and venturi fittings in the agitator assembly. Such openings and fittings are positioned so that water flowing from inside the tubular members into the tank will flow in horizontal and centerally upward directions to thereby produce a substantially uniform stirring action in the bottom portion of the tank. Such stirring action will cause any solid particles in the water to be circulated upwardly and carried from the tank to thus prevent accumulation of such particles in the bottom of the tank.
