draining water tank

I have sanitized our water tank for the first time and now want to drain and refill it.

I went to the low point drain identified by the previous owner and turned the valve every way possible. Water will not drain.

Anybody got any ideas on what to do?

I have pictures but don't know how to post them.
  • You could also drain from another drain and flush twice. My low point is hard to reach so that's what I do mostly. A little bleach doesn't hurt me.
  • That valve may not be the right one. Look for something close to the tank.

    Or.. try opening any water spigot inside. It shouldn't be airtight, but might be worth a try.
