I certainly would not.

me neither the sediment may be plugging leaks.....
Besides CLR in the quantity needed might cost as much as a new tank:(/
remove heating elements and flush there
If you dissolve it all, and you haven't flushed twice a year from day one, you'll probably end up with a leaky tank.
No real big deal having sediment in the bottom of an electric. You'd be better off removing the elements and cleaning them.
