Default Is this a backflow problem?

I need to relocate my water heater to another location. So on
Saturday I disconnected my water heater.

I first turned off the power to it, then I disconnected the wiring.
Then I flipped the "hissing" valve on top, connected a garden hose to
the bottom drain and let it drained out.

Yes. Cross-connect between Hot and Cold.

That would rule out any cold-only hose bibs.

That leaves Single lever shower controls,
Single lever faucets, AND Washing machine
solenoid inlet valve.

There could be other special types, but those
are the common ones.
