2021 Imagine XLS Water Heater

[DiegoJ]

New to the group and new owner to a used Imagine XLS 23bhe that I started dewinterizing. When I tried opening the bypass valves on Dometic water heater GC6AA-10E, water started pouring out the bottom of the water heater. It appears to be coming from somewhere right under the water heater. Previous owner had an RV store winterize it and drain plug was removed. Not sure there'd be water left in the tank if plug was removed.

Anyone have insight on an issue like this. I have a video of where the water is kind of leaking from although the insulation is wrapped around the tank so it's hard to pinpoint.

Doesn’t sound good
The connections are visible and the drain plug is visible so if it isn’t leaking from them it must be a cracked tank

Sh*t, that's what I was afraid of

You have a pic? Of the leak and the water heater itself?

[DiegoJ]

I have a video of it leaking but no picture. Not sure how to post pictures or videos here

Press this symbol and then add a pic file. Take some snap shots of your video.

That is a massive leak. Can’t really tell where from though unfortunately

Any idea what is under all that insulation besides just the tank body? No water leaking out any of the fittings on the face of the heater.
