I'm in a potentially bad situation since I have the older air-pressure system,i.e. the supply tank is pressurised so that even if I turn off the compressor, there is still pressure in the tank and lines. Fortunately, even a valve left on, the water will all drain to a tank and lastly, to the shower/tub.

The solution for me is to turn off the little compressor and bleed the air pressure off the tank. That can be done at the shrader valve on the fill cap. I will probably be rolling the dice on that since it will be a chore either forgotten or deemed unnecessary for short absences. One factor that mitigates removing the pressure is that I installed all new supply lines and they have been tested to 80 psi. I trust my plumbing.
