Need to replace hot water lines. Do you need to turn off the hot water heater if you shut off the main water line?

Yes. I would. If you are replacing the hot water lines, it is also a good time to drain the hot water heater and get rid of all the junk at the bottom of the hot water heater. That should be done once a year. Your hot water heater must be off when you do that, your hot water heater should be off when you drain your hot water heater. You will see boiler scale come out of your water heater. Leaving the boiler scale in your water heater makes it less efficient. It makes it harder to heat your water. It is the same as throwing money down the drain. If you want to give your money away, you should give it to the Salvation Army instead of the Utility Company.


Is there an appliance to heat bath water?

If you mean the appliance that heats water before it comes out of the water tap, there are several: the most common being the tank water heater (usually installed in a basement, heater closet or other central location near the water main) and the inline on-demand heater (usually installed very close to the faucet). If you mean the water after it is in the bathtub, there are a wide variety of submersible water heaters of varying power ratings. There are also spa type and hottub additions to bathtubs that force water jets through the tub while it heats the water, the ones I have seen are about as expensive as a small hottub.
