Elaborate on the above in easy to read way

Certainly! Here is a more detailed, step-by-step guide to draining a gas water heater:

1. Before beginning the draining process, make sure the gas supply to the water heater is turned off. This will prevent gas leaks and other safety hazards. To turn off the gas, locate the gas valve on the water heater and turn it to the “off” position.
2. Next, turn off the electricity to the water heater. This will prevent any electrical shocks or other accidents while you are working on the appliance. Locate the circuit breaker for the water heater and switch it to the “off” position.
3. Once the gas and electricity are turned off, you can begin draining the water heater. First, find the drain valve at the base of the appliance. This is typically a small valve that is located near the bottom of the water heater.
4. Take a hose and connect one end to the drain valve. Then, run the other end of the hose to a drain or outside. This will allow the water to flow out of the hose as it drains from the water heater.
5. With the hose in place, it’s time to open the pressure and temperature relief valve. This valve is located on the top of the water heater and has a small lever. Open the valve by pulling the lever upward.
6. Now you can open the drain valve at the base of the water heater. You may need to use a wrench to loosen the valve if it is stuck. As soon as you open the valve, water should start flowing out of the hose.
7. Allow the water to drain until it becomes lukewarm. This may take several minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the water heater. You can monitor the temperature of the water by touching the hose or placing your hand under the flow of water.
8. Once the water has drained and cooled down, it’s time to close the drain valve and remove the hose. To close the drain valve, simply turn it clockwise with a wrench until it is tightened. Then, carefully remove the hose from the drain valve and set it aside.
9. Finally, close the pressure and temperature relief valve by pushing the lever downward. This will ensure that the water heater is properly sealed and ready for use.
10. With the drain valve and relief valve closed, you can turn the gas supply and electricity back on. To do this, simply switch the circuit breaker to the “on” position and turn the gas valve to the “on” position.
11. Re-ignite the water heater following the instructions above the temperature controls of the water heater.

How to drain an electric water heater?

Draining an electric water heater follows a similar process, with a few key differences:

1. As with a gas water heater, to drain an electric water heater the first step is to turn off the electricity to the appliance. Locate the circuit breaker for the water heater and switch it to the “off” position.
2. Next, connect a hose to the drain valve at the base of the water heater. Run the other end of the hose to a drain or outside.
3. Open the pressure and temperature relief valve by pulling the lever upward. This valve is located on the top of the water heater and has a small lever.
4. Open the drain valve at the base of the water heater and allow the water to flow out of the hose until it becomes lukewarm. This may take several minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the water heater.
5. Once the water has drained and cooled down, close the drain valve and remove the hose. To close the drain valve, simply turn it clockwise with a wrench until it is tightened. Then, carefully remove the hose from the drain valve and set it aside.
