make sure you drain your hot water heater.
Very true, but why would you heat the water if you drained the system? I would not run the chance that the hot water heater was full if I pulled a low drain plug.
You stand a chance that a siphon might have pulled the water down in the tank exposing the element, or putting the safety sensors into a dry environment.
