Hot water heater

I had trouble draining my hot water heater on my 00 3670 RL.
I have a water faucet on the bottom outside and after closing the bypass and opening the hot water faucets I could not drain the Water heater. I finally had an idea that the faucet was plugged for some reason and blew a small amount of air in the faucet at which point the water would flow along with some black scale. I had to do this several times to finally get it drained.
Just wondering if anyone had any ideas.
Thanks

I don't think you can completely drain it there will always be about i in of water in it. If you leave the plug out it has enough room for expanison. It has never hurt ours.

Arrowelk, I'm not sure what the problem is but if I read correctly then maybe there's no air source to replace the outgoing water. Try popping the pressure relief valve above the water heater drain. If that doesn't help, then I'm lost. Sorry.
