I have a approx. 15 yr old crane hot water heater with the inlet coming in underneath
the unit and it has a tee fitting on it
connecting to a "drain" valve and to the
cold water. There isn't any other drain
Built into the heater itself. So I figured
If I turn off the electric and cold water
and open a faucet and the drain it would
drain but I guess there is a one way valve
so I can't drain my heater and I have
Alot of sediment and rust so it is probably
filled with sediment. Any ideas??????
Also I have a basic sediment canister filter
That I have to change every 2-3 weeks
after rinsing the filter of sediment every
few days. The taste and smell of the
water is perfect any less maintance and
or cost effective ideas?
