x-no-archive: yes I need to drain my water heater. It's in the garage ,which is convenient cause it opens right to the driveway. I know you have to attach the hose to the faucet and turn that one on to drain the water and residue out. My question is.. do I have to turn off the water heater ? (It's natural gas) .. or the water coming into the water heater? OR can I just attach the hose, turn on the faucet and let 'er rip ? and it fills itself right back up after I'm finished ? Could it possibly be that simple ? thanx
