Thanks, this answered a lot of questions. I have a Bradford White 50 gallon that was installed 11 years ago and knock wood, hasn’t had any problems but has never been flushed or maintained. Should I consider a tankless heater? Any recommendations?
Question here please. My 50 gallon tank has 8 year warranty, I'm on the 9th year. I've never drained it until now. I agitated the bottom many times and finally got the tank to run clear. Problem is inside hot water is still off colour. I live in Vancouver, BC for location. Every plumber says I need a new tank. Is there more I can do?

Should the gas heater be shut off while draining it ?
Any reason to shut of the gas before draining?
Does it need to be shut off or on ?
