Gotta get at least some water out or it'll split if it freezes.
We leave my grandmother's house unheated all winter with the water heater
totally drained.
Her house has a dirt basement so its easy, just let it run out on the floor.

Is it better for a gas-fired water heater to be drained and shut off
if it is not going to be used for a period of months, or simply turn
off the gas but leave the water in the tank, or leave the gas and
water on but set at minimum temperature?
