   Used the 190 a couple of times earlier this season without issue. Got busy later in the season and was not able to use it. Started to winterize it last week and removed the anode rod to drain the water heater and it was empty! I've never experienced that in the 5 years of ownership. I am not aware of any way to drain a water heater other than the anode rod.
How could that be? I must have a leak? Best guesses where? I'm at a loss. 

Thanks.

	One additional comment. When winterizing, and turning the valves for the antifreeze, there was no obvious leak under the water heater, but of course it did sit for 5 months without use and may have dried up? It is 6 gallons though and there should have been some evidence of a 6 gallon water spill.
