Hi Mike, I think my first concern would be what is causing the sediment.
Normally it's the faucet screen that clogs first. That's a simple clean it
or replace. Does your faucet have a screen? If not I would want to find out
why the faucet is gunking up, depending on last time this has happened.
Yea, you can clean or replace, but if it just keeps gunking on you the
problem is still there. Maybe a whole house filter attached to your inlet
or an under the sink filter under the problem faucet may help. A yearly
flush of the hot water heater also seems to help us. (things to do list...)
:-)
best.

Drain the water heater and get the sediment out, then refill.
