I have a gas hot water heater. When I go away, which is often, I first shut the outside main water supply off. Then I go to my gas hot water heater and turn the temperature dial as low as I can without turning it all the way to where it says"lighting the pilot". (It doesn't have a vacation setting). Then I turn the other control knob from "on" to "pilot". When I come back home a week or more later, I have all this very hot water at the tap. Something doesn't seem right. Do I need to have this checked out and is it dangerous? Thank you very much with some help.
