I went to go drain my hot water heater... Craftmaster,30 gal. , double element. Turned off the breaker to HWH, turned off the water supply, opened up the hot water side on a faucet, hooked a short hose to drain valve on HWH and opened valve. Spurts of water came out of the hose at first, then nothing ,so I figured perhaps it might be plugged up with sediment at the valve. Tried more than a bunch of times to try and blast through if it was sediment built up turning the water supply on and off leaving the water on for a few seconds to a few minutes...Each time with the water on and off water came out of the hose clear and in a full stream, then I'd go to turn the water off and within a few seconds stop. I tried opening the pressure relief valve to while water on or off no difference . Is there some safety type valve that needs to be open as well I am missing? Or is this a one time HWH use it then get rid of it....lol
Much appreciated to all!
