Unfortunately, the drain is on the cold water side, ahead of the screen. The screen is actually part of the brass male threaded piece in my photos, which is why I didn't catch that it was even there during my initial inspection. I just thought it was the other side of the elbow in the HWH compartment.
-You would have to figure out a way to run the hot water backwards and open up the drain or, as you said, let it come out of the city water connection or somewhere along those lines, maybe even the low point drain on the pump intake side.
Having done it 2x, now, and having stainless screws that don't have the heads completely destroyed (thank god for vampliers!!!!) on the girard mounting bracket, it is a 1-2 hour job. I would strongly recommend against trying to remove the sensor from the elbow with it installed in the HWH, it will just tear things up. It's far easier to take the unit out, remove the retaining plate and put the sensor and elbow in a vice to get them apart.
