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.

How do you keep a well water pump from freezing?
When the temperatures stay below freezing for several days the heater will buildup ice and slow the water down. If this occurs then it will get to the point of stopping water flow through the system. When this occurs then you will need to take action and turn the pump off and remove any drain plugs on the pump (2 located either in the front of the pump basket or on the side. The 2nd one is on the housing that is attached to the trap or pump basket either on the side or in front of the housing) The next thing is to remove any drain plugs on the heater. Located where the pipes on into the heater and sometimes on the opposite side. On a Raypack heater you may have to remove the side panel to get to that plug. Next you need to remove the drain plug on the filter. Locations are on the back side at the base or in front of the filter at the base. You may have a pool-weep pump and if you do then you need to take the drain plug out of it located in front of the pump towards the bottom. Be sure to turn the power off so if you have a freeze protector it won;t continue to run the pump with it drained.
