Yea, I drained it to the outside before winter. It did make the water foamy and smelly. What a pita it was. I bought this blue chemical fresh water tank treatment and had to fill it to 2/3rds, rock it, run water out each faucet for a few minutes. Drained the water heater a couple of times, filled the tank to cap, flushed the lines again, drained the tank again.
