Winterized Water Heater
2014 GulfStream Streamlite 28Rbb. So I live in MI and obviously it has already froze and actually been in the 40/50's the last few days so Thawed also. My question is when I went through and drained the water for winter, I opened all the valves ran the pump till it was spitting air. Opened the low point plugs underneath and also the freshwater plug, poured A/F down all drains and toilet.
What Im concerned about is the Water Heater, I only drained it by opening the relief valve while pumping the water out until it was also just spitting air. My problem was that when I tried to get the large Bolt from the bottom of the Water heater panel on the outside, it was so rusted that I actually broke my channel locks in half. I was over at my storage place over the weekend and popped open the relief valve again and some water trickled out so I let it until nothing. My question is at this point is there something I should do or has the damage (or hopefully lack there of) been done?
