Again, if you don’t have enough hot water, the reason why will depend on the type of heater you have.

Why is there air coming out of my hot water tank?

As you open the drain tap, cold water will continue to enter the tank — remember, the feed is still open. This will force the air plus any sediment out of the tank, so you’ll not only get rid of the air but also any build-ups. If you do want to check your tank for sediment, place the hose into a bucket (outside) and fill it halfway.
