Should I put a piece of plywood (or something with a little "give")

12x12" tiles under the heater so they are all the same height, the
weight of the filled 50-gallon heater might crack the highest tile. My
thought is to distribute the weight of the heater more evenly.

I'm not sure if a drip pan is a solution.

Thanks for your advice.

We have a similar situation at work. The floor tiles are uneven and
when we instaled the heater it would rock on the high tiles. We used a
piece of plywood and carved out the back to clear the high tiles.
