They make timers with battery back-up.You would still have the problem of having it under the house.You may have a need for hot water at some time other than when the timer is on.
It's not a good idea to use the breaker as a switch.Normally double pole breakers are not rated to be used as a switch and over time it will wear out.There are exceptions but most electricians will tell you not to do it.
