Description
The Bradford White 229-51718-05 is a genuine OEM 1/4″ Hydro Jet Dip Tube designed as a direct replacement for compatible Bradford White water heaters. This precision-engineered dip tube channels incoming cold water to the bottom of the tank while its Hydro Jet design creates a swirling turbulence action that continuously agitates and suspends sediment buildup — helping to keep the tank floor clear and maintain peak heating efficiency over the life of the unit.

Why the Hydro Jet Dip Tube Matters
Sediment accumulation at the bottom of a water heater tank is one of the leading causes of reduced efficiency, noisy operation, and premature unit failure. The Bradford White Hydro Jet Dip Tube addresses this issue at the source by using the natural force of incoming cold water to create a swirling jet action. This keeps mineral deposits and sediment in suspension so they can be flushed out during routine maintenance, extending the service life of the water heater and preserving its energy performance.
