Hello to all,

We have two 50gal gas water heaters interconnected, which
both are in the attic. Our outside temps range from 70-100+ June-Sept, and have
composition roofing w ridge vents.

When we go out of town for 2-3 weeks,
does it make sense to turn down the temps to pilot light only while gone? There
will be no water running for that timeframe thru the units. We use city
water.hard water so I am thinking this will give the units a break and not bake
the calcium inside.

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions -
