Water heater help: ASAP!

I am de winterizing my 2014 FC 25fb. I have turned the bypass valve underneath the curbside twin bed to operating position and filled the fresh water tank.

When I turn on the water pump to flush the lines, water is pouring from a valve underneath the water heater (underneath the exterior belly).

I have no idea why. Is there something I am supposed to on the exterior panel of the water heater? I can't find anything in either manual.

Please help.

The handle for that valve should be inside the exterior hatch next to the water heater. Look for an opening between the hatch and the water heater. There should be a line with a valve. Sounds like this valve is open.

Sounds like "low point" drains... Close them

bwpaint, you are right! Thank you so much, I totally missed that. I was pretty much just staring at the front panel for awhile scratching my head as the sun was going down.

Too easy, but it never occurred to me to look in the compartment next door to it!

Thanks a million.
