Ok, remember when I said I needed someone to come out and drain my water heater? Austin corrected me. No..I did not mean drain the whole doggone water heater. I should have used the word..flush. He knows a plumber and told him that I was interested in draining my water heater. The man was quite polite and said, that isn't done anymore. ~ Guess they used to ~ He said that it does need to be flushed. Oh dear.
