Water Heater On or Off?

When I had a hot water tank (I am tankless now) it was hot water off and pump off for the reasons noted in RG's post.

My breaker box is in a bedroom. I painted two breakers white so that I can see them without lights on. It's also easier to explain to my wife what to do if I just say turn the white ones off. One breaker is for the water tank and other is power to the boat house. We draw water from the lake and the pump is in the boat house. I throw both breakers if I leave for more than a few days. My neighbor left his pump on, had a leak and it ran and flooded his whole downstairs for a week
