Many years ago I removed the anodes, dip tube and drain valve,
converting a HW tank to a water storage tank I put on hill for my mom,
it supplied garden water from a natural spring. ended up getting some
fittings welded back on.
it worked great till she moved, and there was enough pressure to run a
oscillating sprinkler or wash cars, stuff like that.
