Of course it would not be stagnant then....the point is that is there really very much difference in having the water heater on and at a safe temperature, as opposed to having it off? If it was off I would want to run it completely out when I returned anyway....and how do you know things were actually done as you wanted when you returned?
Whatever way one does it, I would always run the water completely through upon my return and raise the water temp, even just for a day or so to insure safe levels.....but how many folks know how to do this on an electric tank? Thus my suggestion.
