safest is to use solar powered water heater. My house is using it. It's been raining a lot lately and the sun is hardly out. But we still get enough warm water for shower and haven't had the need to switch on the electric heater. Water is not hot as during hot days but still warm enough to take a shower.

Your tank still have the electric heater in it. Parts that seldom use and longtime no use is more danger when 1 day you ON it.  sweat.gif

The water is the electrical transfer medium. The electrucute doesn't neccassary coming from the shower that you use. It can come from anybody that using the water.

If so worried about it, permanently disconnect electric supply to the unit. Oh wait ... what if lightning strike the unit ... and you are taking a shower when that happens.
Ohh dear ... life is full of worries. hahahaha
