Does everyone drain there hot water heater in between trips or just leave the water in it until next trip. I drain my tanks but always seem to forget the water heater. Is this hurting anything?
I've left my water heater on by accident for a couple of days when I got home. Thank goodness it was not drained. You can do some real damage (I've heard) with an empty heater turned on. I do flush it once a year.
But I guess if I were draining it, I would remember to turn it off at the same time.
