It's really pretty simple. Cut an old garden hose to about the length you need to get from your drain valve on the water tank to the floor drain. Hook it up. Shut off the cold water feed. Open pressure relief valve and drain valve let drain. Close drain valve when empty fill while leaving pressure relief valve open. Repeat.
Fill tank again an enjoy your mostly scale free hot water tank.
Almost forgot, make sure you turn the water heater off first. Relight when done flushing.
