Waterheater at 130 means no need for filters, showered changes etc?!

We leave our water heater off at our vacation house since we are gone six months. Based on Dr Falkinhams previous posts, when we return, we drain it and flush it with a Clorox solution then start it up at 135. I think if we had left it in at 135 the entire time we were away, I would probably feel comfortable just running the water for a while before I used any of it or showered.

Ugh, "... I think if we had left it in at 135 the entire time we were away..." please don't! Both my Mom and my neighbor returned to horrible messes when they returned to their seasonal homes and the water heaters had failed and leaked. We actually drain ours when we leave in the Spring, refill and heat it up for several hours, run it to empty (only a 20 gal tank - we have a tiny house) and then begin using it
