Claim 17:
18. The water heater control system of claim 9, further comprising:
a water heater including the spud and including the water heater tank,
wherein an interior volume defined by the water heater tank is configured to hold a body of water; and

a heating apparatus configured to heat the body of water when the interior volume holds the body of water,
