Abstract
The present invention relates to an end piece for a water heater dip tube which converts the dip tube from primarily a water feed only, to a combination water feed and turbulator. The end piece comprises an end face at right angles to the water flow through the dip tube with openings radially around the end face and the openings being symmetrically positioned for balanced pressure water flow to all sides of the end piece thereby eliminating directional torque on the dip tube itself.
