I had some 10-3 wire, just capped the neutral at the WH box, have it connected to the neutral bar in the disconnect. On yours just use a marker pen or some red tape.

The new one I just put in has no neutral (white) connection, only red and black to give the 220V between the two hots.

Some (most?) inspectors interpret the code to say 4 conductors are needed for all 240v appliances, but on something like a water heater that makes no use of 120v, there's no place for the neutral conductor. I'm installing my electric heater (switching from natural draft propane water heater) with a disconnect box and 10/2 wire. I suppose I should do something to tint the end of the white wire red. Wish I had some red heat shrink handy.
