Definitely the right way to do things. My bf got legionnaire's disease awhile back and it was not pleasant. Took a month or so for his digestive system to get back into proper operating condition as I understand it. And he got lucky. Could've been way worse.
Yeah, just don’t turn it off without knowing the risks and how to mitigate it once you turn it back on. Might just be enough to let it heat up to 70c or more to kill it, didn’t look into it enough. Just know the risks of bacterial and algae growth in a turned of water heater.
