This may only be helpful in the future, but can anyone confirm that if the water is turned off and pipes are drained, its not possible for them to bust?

I thought that’s the case, but I’m wondering if you have to turn off your hot water heater? Wondering if with no water the heating element would just burn up.

Technically that's a cold water heater, or just a water heater ;-)

Anytime I’ve traveled and turned off my water, I’ve also turned off my hot water heater.
