I am finally remodeling my master bath. I've installed a 100 gal. tub along with a separate shower with multiple heads. The house is 3200 sq. ft. with 3.5 baths. I have currently been using a 65 gal. gas hot water heater. Due to the size of the tub and the fact my house is rented twice a year with 5+ people showering every morning I am opting for adding an additional 40 gal. gas water heater instead of replacement. My idea is that I'll have more usable hot water and should have a faster recovery time.
My question is this: Should I install them in a series (cold coming into tank A, hot leaving tank A and going into cold side of tank B and then hot leaving tank B to the rest of the house)? OR, install them parallel I draw from both tanks simultaneously? If installed in a series, should tank A be set hotter, colder or the same as tank B to get the most effiecent use? Due to the configuration of the house, my only option is to locate H2O heaters in the basement - I can't place one strategically close to a demand point.
Thanks for any advice you can offer. Regards, John
