I just make sure the pump is off, the mains water is not connected, the 230v is turned off to the water heater and turn on a hot tap in the van. This releases the pressure and lets air back in as the water drains from the aperture from the removed anode.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
