Before the rebuild had two smaller tanks and hated watching the hot water drain off as I drained after each fall and early spring weekend. Do not keep heat on when not there.
I do need to "blow" the water out of each heater as they feed into the top and have "U" shapped heater that probably would freeze (never tried leaving them full) Only takes a couple of minutes with a little car type compressor.

While mine is a whole house tankless system, I first saw the type islandAl has 24 years ago while visting my wife's relatives in Pescara, Italy. I'm not bashing the USA, but its amazing its taken this long for us to even hear about this alternative method of water heating. Maybe its because of all the recent energy conciousness today.
