You can drain it anywhere you want. The problem is you'll need to use a hose and getting the flow started is sometimes a problem. If there is too much junk in the tank you'll sometimes have to run a coat hanger or long rod into the tank to bust a hole in the crud in the bottom. That is what makes such a mess. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Doucet To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 8:05 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] hot water problem
