    This immersion tank heater... is this a tankless coil in a boiler? If so, did you open at least one hot water faucet while draining the tank..

    No matter which system you have, in order to drain anything off you will need to open a faucet to do it. Do not open a mixing type of valve (single handle)... preferably a single hot water faucet of a two handle faucet.

    Let me know more specifically what kind of heater here... a brand name would help.
