As for your turning off the water heater, do you drain it also, or just flip the switch, assuming there's no pilot light? So the water sits in there the entire time you're away until you turn back on the water valve and then the water heater, do I understand correctly? Thanks.
When I’m away I just turn mine down to pilot.
