Bill Coleman C&C 39 [animated_favicon1] Most people disconnect the inlet and outlet of the water heater and jump those two lined together, bypassing the hot water tank when they put the antifreeze in. Assuming the drain on your hot water tank really drains the tank dry, that way you don't need to get any antifreeze in the heater at all, so no major flushing in the spring. You can buy a kit for this that installs permanently if you don't want to play with the hoses each spring and fall.
