I made a tank rinser out off flexible tubing and rise the tank out when I winterize. There is a fair amount of mineral build up that will come out if you never rinsed the tank before. There is also water in the bottom of the tank that won't drain out that I siphon out with a small plastic tube then put the plug in and blow the entire water system out with compressed air. If you have an electric element in the tank follow Jim's advice. I forgot to do this one year and my electric element burned in half. Half is still in the bottom of my tank.
