We leave our mobile home in Florida for the summer. We turn off the water and drain the tank after turning off the electric power to it. Once when it was turned on again in the fall, it leaked seriously and we had to replace it. Is there a necessary procedure to fillow on power up?

Hello: That tank may have leaked because it's time had come or because the tank remained wet inside and rusted while you were away. Any tank stored empty needs to be made as dry as possible to stop or slow rusting. Unless there were a serious water pressure problem, I would not expect filling to cause damage. Do make sure power is kept off to the heater until you have a good solid stream of water running from the tap. Yours, Larry
