When draining the hot water tank don't forget to flip open the pressure relief valve at the top of the tank. This allows the water to drain out more quickly helping to wash out some of the sludge at the bottom of the tank. I used an aluminum tent peg to make a hook shaped tool to reach through the drain hole and stir up more of the sludge and cause it to be carried out by the water outflow.
