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.

Personally, I would not drain the water heater. Just run the water for awhile when you return.
