OK. being that the tank is now full of water, shut off the breaker feeding it. The hot water out and cold water in should be open. Go to the highest spigot in the house and turn on the cold first until you get water - no air. then do the same with the hot - water - no air. Remove the aerator on the faucet if there is one. Do this on all faucets. Do the shower/tub, lavatory sink, then the kitchen faucet. when you have all water no air coming out, turn on the breaker and let it heat the system. then after its built up some temperature go back and bleed the hot water faucets again with out the aerator in. when your are done clean any crap out of the aerator and replace it. As far as the heater sediment drain, when you have the time, shut off the breaker and close the hot water out and cold water in. like you say you got just a trickle out of it - that drain valve's gonna hafta come out. Connect up a short hose to the valve and open it and drain what you can into a bucket. keep doing this until the tank is empty. Then unscrew the drain valve. and shove a doubled back coat hanger into the drain. yer trying to loosen up the sediment. open up a little cold water to flush out the sediment. go and buy a new brass boiler drain with the correct npt thread for the tank - probably 3/4 npt. use teflon tape on the threads and screw it into the tank. then open the cold water line first and pressurize the system. go to the faucets as above and bleed out the air. then open the hot and do the same. once your system is full close the circuit breaker.
