Dirty Water From Water Heater

Name: Jan  City: Colorado Springs

Question: When i run a hot bath, the water is a yucky yellow brown. The plumber who was out said it is from deposits on the bottom of the water heater tank. Will it help to drain the tank? And if i do, how do i clean out the remaining deposits?
