Does anyone else save a ton of time by not draining the electric water heater to change an element?
Release pressure, then close all valves above.
Pull the element, the loss of water is minimal without a vent.
Can usually be done and lose less than a gallon. Of course you need to be on a drain pan or in the basement.
Probably not a good idea on a T&M job however.
