Flushing regularly! If it is an older tank and it hasn't been flushed regularly don't bother starting now do it on your next one. This ones days are numbered. You may want to do a water test to see if your water needs treatment.

Ans 2 - Yes, flushing it regularly will help. as will changing the anode.This is a long tube that screws into the top of the hot tank to collect rust and iron impurities. Your "rubbery orange sludge " sounds very much like iron bacteria, which is very bad for your whole water system. I would highly recommend taking a water sample to a lab. for analysis. If you are on a well, it's possible that you may have to fit an iron filter or even a manganese greensand system
