so I read doug shook's post about water heater maintenance and that got me thinking I haven't drained the heater recently, and maybe a new anode couldn't hurt, either. so I hook up the hose, open the

Dunno what to tell you there. Some have their own lug on the top of the tank; others it's inside the outlet fitting. This web site http://www.waterheaterrescue.com/ has lots of good [free] info, and

Dear Scott, I think the best thing to do now would be to go to HD and buy a 3/4" full ball-valve and a hose bib fitting (I can take a photo of what I did). Turn off the cold water feed to the heater,

Hook up the hose with a nozzle on the end. The shorter the nose, the better. Shut off the incoming water supply. Open all the hot water faucets in the house. Make sure the nozzle is closed. Open the

Not tried it on a water heater, but it's a common operation on Triumphs ... open or remove the valve and stick a length of stiff wire into the hole. Poke & prod until it works through the crud. I've
