draining hot water heaters.
I have a Suburban hot water heater, and recently replaced the anode rod, draining the tank. The general consensus is that that is the way to store it. I can see why this would be important to you ...

My water heater is empty, too. We'll see.
Bottom is rounded, hard to get all water out below the drain hole. I always clean mine out with one of these after draining and before put into use. I just don't want to take the chance of specks of rust messing up aerators.
In your neck of the woods maybe evaporation would get all water out?
