NO, just turn off the cold water supply and open a hot water faucet to drain some hot water out of the line.

The instructions say to drain the water heater, but I did not, feeling it was a waste of time and water. The installation went flawlessly.

No - just turn off the cold water supply and turn the water heater to vacation setting (gas) or off (electric). You have to disconnect the water lines between the tank and house hot watter supply line to install the pump. You can go to Watts' web site to download the manual.
