That's basically my plan Bill. Just cut the pex going to the heater and insert a 1/4 turn ball valve. Like I said, I'm not particularly concerned about the pex lines themselves freezing. It's just the pump and the toilet for me.
So I'm off to pick up 4 ball valves - one for the cold line to the water heater and 4 to replace the drain valves that are either broken (2) or getting really tired and probably ready to break next time I turn the handles!
