Another method to empty the WH faster is to open the over-pressure valve at the top of the WH on the outside. Some people recommend against it since you can develop a weeping valve if it is weak, but I did it all the time with our popup and never had a problem. I didn't use it with our pod or with our current camper since I only drain at the end of the season, so I just open up all of the valves inside so suction helps to clear them. I had hard-to-solve sway issues with our popup which is why I drained it at the campsite every time.
